+ Arcadian Opera

'Arcadian Opera is  proud to be a preferred company of Stowe Enterprises at Stowe House, Buckingham. Stowe Enterprises operates event facilities for Stowe School, near Buckingham, including the Roxburgh Hall Theatre ... Arcadian Opera, named for the famous arcadian landscape gardens of Stowe, was founded to provide regular, high quality, opera performances in this magical location ... The lack of any local opera singing groups was a strong incentive to found a company for opera loving singers at Stowe.  The establishment of Arcadian Opera has therefore provided an opportunity to sing opera as well as accessible but serious classical opera for local audiences. The company sings in English to enhance the understanding of the sung text in a belief that reading subtitles distracts from being able to concentrate on the performance.  In addition, by encouraging local children to join in the chorus work, Arcadian Opera hopes to bring the joy of opera to a new generation of singers.'
