WHAT WE DO
During our first year at Wormsley (2010-11) Garsington Opera Education established important relationships with schools and communities in the surrounding area.
The aim of the 2012-13 programme is to build on the relationships we have developed so far, and to expand the reach of the our work even further, by producing a large-scale community opera. The work will be performed at Wormsley as part of the 2013 season.
