Tête à Tête brings uplifting, surprising, daring and intimate opera productions of the highest quality to the widest possible public, developing both artists and the art-form itself. Tête à Tête itself has produced over 34 stage works by 29 different composers, for audiences throughout the UK. In addition, for the last four years the company has created a platform for the work of dozens of other companies and many hundreds of artists in Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival, now in its fourth year.
"From Shorts (1999) to Circus Tricks (2009), Tête à Tête’s trademark has been lightness of touch: a genial, playful, paper-moon style where comedy is deftly spiked with tragedy and tragedy
comes laced with laughter."
Anna Picard, Independent on Sunday, Aug 2009
