"Tête à Tête has recently established a reputation for itself as our most inventive and unconventional laboratory for the presenting and writing of new opera."-
Rupert Christiansen, Daily Telegraph

"One of the best contemporary theatre groups of any kind" - The Times


Innovative challenging high-quality new opera can make a great night out for everyone. 10 years ago Tête à Tête was born from this passion and the belief that opera can touch people’s hearts and therefore change their lives like no other art form, and that this power should be felt as widely as possible. Time and time again our bold new approach to opera has generated projects which have touched people’s lives and exerted a very strong influence across the sector, pointing the way towards a viable opera of the future, for both audiences and artists.

Our work gives a vast number of artists the vital opportunity to cut their teeth and develop their skills in opera, paves the way for all kinds of possible futures for the art-form and inspires similar ambition and vision across the sector.

Over the past decade we have employed over 400 artists to present the world premières of 41 staged works by 36 different composers, to thousands of people from South Devon to Shetland.
