Join a Production Syndicate
ETO Production Syndicates
English Touring Opera offers the opportunity each season for a small group of people to become closely involved with a production.
With a minimum donation of £1,000, members of each Syndicate will be invited to join the cast and creative team at every stage of the process, from meetings with the designer and talks from the director, to rehearsals and the first night performance. This is a unique opportunity for those who love opera and want to get close to the action.
Current Syndicates:
Tatyana Syndicate (Eugene Onegin Spring 2012)
Atlantis Syndicate (Der Keiser von Atlantis Autumn 2012)
Albert Herring Syndicate (Albert Herring Autumn 2012)
Please contact Johnny Langridge on 020 7833 2555 or johnny.langridge@englishtouringopera.org.uk for more information and how to join.
