T-Shirt Opera presents Opera Unmasked – an open invitation to step into a world of passion, drama, storytelling and song, designed to demystify Opera and open it up to new audiences. Enjoy comedic anecdotes about the composers, the plots, and some of Opera’s best loved arias, as our young team of T-shirt-wearing up-and-coming opera stars unmask the stories behind the songs.

Whether you’re a seasoned opera lover or someone curious to explore it for the first time, this event promises to be both entertaining and enlightening – a new generation of talent brings centuries of opera to life!

“No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.” – W.H. Auden
