On 28th January 2024, we played Verdi’s fabulous La Traviata - in a day!
A fabulous cast of singers worked alongside the Horizon Orchestra, under the baton of Benjamin Hamilton, at the Mulryan Centre for Dance (English National Ballet).

Lizzie (DEBUT’s founder) and Benjamin cut their teeth together at the University of Warwick (where they met), working on productions of Figaro, Bohème, Hansel and Gretel and Flute. We felt that this was something that was needed for emerging professional musicians, and a great way to get the wider community involved too.

Check out the photos from our first opera-play through Know the Show - Carmen at Bishopsgate Institute! It was an exciting and inspiring day, thanks to the pro-singers & instrumentalists and our community chorus members who made it so memorable!

There’s always a certain level of excitement (and trepidation!!) launching a new series… Sat at the pub after the workshop, alongside many of the participants, we can’t be more excited for Know the Show’s development over the coming years! What makes it unique? - who better to answer that than everyone who came along…
