Kennet Opera 
Kennet Opera was formed in 1994 by a group of friends with an aim to perform accessible, enjoyable classical opera in Newbury and the surrounding area. We perform one full-length opera each year in February at a local venue, and a few concerts at various locations in the summer. Our annual production is always sung in English, accompanied by piano or small chamber orchestra.
We are always happy to welcome new members, whether you wish to sing in the annual production, the concert season or both! Rehearsals are held every Wednesday from 7.30 to 10.00 pm at the Majendie Hall by St Mary,s church, Church Lane, Speen. We do not audition new members for the chorus − all are welcome. It is not necessary to be able to sight read music, although being able to follow a score would be helpful.
More information about the company, our previous productions and activities can be found on our website.
