Support Tête à Tête

 
Tête à Tête is now an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. This is marvellous news for us and means some degree of financial stability for 2012-2015. It also comes with responsibilities, and a commitment to more than match this funding. This £100,000 per year grant represents just over 40% of our turnover.

Tête à Tête has a wonderful history of support from a whole host of generous individual donors. Your gifts provide the crucial icing on the cake, the final 10% that gets us to the finishing line.

• £100 supports the hosting of a guest company in Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival. The volume in which they flock to take part is a testament to how important this festival is in the development of new work.

 

• £300 puts the seal on a whole evening of performances within a festival auditorium, helping three companies to present their work to our lively public, and hopefully a group of your friends.

 

• £500 brings one of our Lite Bites into being. These are enormously popular short pieces we perform through the festival in the foyer, on the streets, in old people’s homes, local offices, parks and indeed everywhere we can. Lite Bites are often a composing team’s first introduction to the art of writing opera, and a key stage in their creative development.

 

• £1,000 guarantees the creation of one of our Studio productions, mid-points for composing teams to develop ideas into staged performances within the festival – check out the beautiful videos of Icarus, Love Songs or Daughters of the Elements on our website from last year. Again, these are a key stage in the development of both artists and ideas.

 

• £2,000 provides that crucial last 10% for the filming, editing, uploading and hosting of all those beautiful videos on our website, together with all the photos of festival shows. Tête à Tête: The Operas On Line is bringing our work to tens of thousands of people world wide.

I am not familiar with opera, but I loved the content. It surprised me by having poetry and grandeur and I did not expect that with modern music
