Opera is a tried and tested entertainment for Charity Fundraising Events. LFO has helped organisations raise many hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Opera is an inspired entertainment for a charity fundraising event and London Festival Opera has been the vehicle to help raise many hundreds of thousands of pounds for some of world’s leading charities.  LFO has a significant artistic reputation adding kudos to a fundraising event that can possibly help raise sponsorship to underwrite an event.   LFO’s biography and reputation  can help a charity and be a vehicle to help your fundraising event achieve its goals.

Many Charity performances feature a programme of well-known arias and ensembles from the popular operas, operettas and musicals.  LFO can also offer highlight performance in costume from an opera such as ‘Carmen’, ‘Madame Butterfly’, or ‘La Traviata’.  If your event is centred around a dinner, we can present a ‘cabaret’ style performance dovetailing the courses of the meal with stunning music. There are many options to choose from!

Our opera singers can appear in glamorous modern dress or beautiful period evening dress to create an added visual impact..  Accompaniment can be solo piano, an instrumental ensemble, full orchestra or recorded orchestral backing tracks.

Opera is about passion and drama, but there are also many lighter moments: Carmen can serenade the guest of honour and give them flowers as she does in the celebrated ‘Habanera’ and Figaro, ‘The Barber of Seville’ and interact with the audience in his famous aria.

A ‘Surprise Start’ where the singers appear to be waiters or fellow guests, who burst into song to the amazement of the audience can be a perfect start to a charity fundraising event. Please see our page on ‘Singing Waiters’ for more details.
