We are less than two months away from our Vivienne opening night at the 2013 Tete a Tete Opera Festival and so we are about to start the first rehearsals this brand new piece.

As Vivienne is a commission we have stretched ourselves to make sure that the words and music are completed and fine-tuned in good time. Now we need to make the ends meet with our production budget.

We are going to see if we can raise outstanding costs via a crowdfunding platform. Kickstarter.com operates a system whereby anyone can choose to pledge any amount (beside a scaled rewards system) towards our estimated expenditure. If we achieve our goal the money is taken and passed on to us (for a fee). If not, no money changes hands.

You can visit our Kickstarter page here. Do have a look – there are a couple of rehearsal clips you can’t see anywhere else!
