Wedmore Opera’s trustees met last week on Zoom! We had our AGM followed by a committee meeting where we discussed future plans in these unsettling times.
We wanted all our singers, musicians and supporters to know that we are thinking of you, but even more important to let you know that we are totally committed to putting on a production in 2021. We are building flexibility into our plans to hopefully ensure that whatever the scenario, we are able to offer a quality of production to which you have been accustomed
The committee is active, and thanks to the great support we have received from benefactors and patrons, in the past, our financial situation is currently secure. However, the revenues generated from putting on a significant production are always insufficient to cover the costs and we would very much appreciate your support again by becoming a benefactor or patron. You can do that easily by following this link to our website and go to the Support Us page, or by emailing wedmoreopera@gmail.com
At this trying time, it is important to remember the huge positive impact the Arts have on our mental and general wellbeing and it will be wonderful to have the prospect of a significant production on our doorstep without contemplating having to travel too far.
We can build on the groundswell of new support that we had last year and at Burns Night in January, – doesn’t that seem a lifetime ago? We want to do all we can to keep opera thriving in the village.
We will keep in touch with everyone over the coming months and update you as our plans develop further
Stay safe and well.
