Deck The Halls with Streetwise Opera

Our popular carol concert, Deck the Halls with Streetwise Opera, returns in 2024. The evening will once again be hosted by critically-acclaimed film and theatre actor Simon Callow, who will do a dramatic reading of some of his favourite excerpts from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Now in its third year, this event has become a fixture in London's festive calendar. The concert will feature a performance of the Hallelujah chorus from George Frideric Handel's Messiah oratorio. And this will be followed by Streetwise Opera leading a sing-along of the most beloved Christmas carols.

All money raised in this event will go to Streetwise Opera's work with people who are homeless, either on the streets, at frontline support centres or with its weekly workshops in arts venues aimed at people who are further along in their recovery from homelessnes.

Streetwise Opera is an opera company that enables people who’ve experienced homelessness to find inspiration and empowerment while they rebuild their lives and identities. We support participants to develop as creative people and, as we amplify their voices, change how society views homelessness.

We engage world-class artists, both established and emerging, to co-create bold new work and reimagine traditional repertoire. We create opera that is for everyone and, by bringing together diverse voices, change how society views opera.
