La donna e mobile

The quartets are made up of some of the best young voices in the UK, recent graduates of the Guildhall School of Music and the Royal Academy and professional singers hand selected to perform to the highest standard.

Mobility and flexibility of the quartets allow them to greet guests as they enter, roam amongst them with a song while they eat and mingle, or enchant guests with a stunning staged performance.

For the smaller, more intimate venues, our singers are able to perform unamplified and with seamless flexibility, but also perform amplified for venues of 1000 to 2000 or more!

Testimonials

Thanks for organizing the wonderful singers. They were absolutely perfect, very charming, beautiful voices, and the hour just melted away!

Hi Sara, I just wanted to say thank you for helping organise the Opera quartet to perform last night at the ICA. They were extremely professional, polite, accommodating, but above all, wonderful singers! Given that they were competing with the conversations of a 200-strong crowd of revellers, they managed to be heard and were appreciated by all. It was a pity that it was only after they had left that the host gave thanks to the singers to rapturous applause. Please pass this thanks on to them from me, the organisers of the event, and the ICA staff, who all enjoyed the performance immensely. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Both of my managers came in this morning saying how fantastic the singers were and that they added such a lovely atmosphere to the evening. Eleanor said that both their professionalism and their talents were of the highest calibre, and this was noted by many of the guests.

Hello Sara, Thanks for your good wishes – I am glad to say the evening was a huge success, better than we dared hope! The performers were just wonderful. I expected them to have terrific voices, and I was not disappointed, but they were such nice people who really worked well with us and did everything we asked them to do. Please pass on our sincere thanks to them, and I hope we can work together again in the future.

Opera Singers are specialised and skilled performers who train extensively in music and theatre to perform the Opera. A celebrated and demanding dramatic art form that combines musical score and text. Their particular and unusual set of skills arises from the demands of their art form. An opera is a combination of both music and theatre. Opera singers are required to do a lot more than just sing. They merge their astounding musical skill with impressive acting as well as mobility to bring the work of composers to life.

Whether cast as an operatic soloist or chorus member, the singer’s work on a production begins with rehearsals, in which the performers focus on the interpretation and reading of the text almost as if it were a play. Soloists, chorus members, and the orchestra gather regularly for separate music rehearsals that are led by a conductor. In weeks leading up to the final performance, opera singers may spend up to six hours a day rehearsing!

There are a wide variety of different types of opera singers. A Soprano is a type of classical singing female voice that has the highest vocal range of all voice types. In music that is written in four parts, the Soprano is the highest. The term derives from the Italian sopra (“above”) and corresponds to the earlier Latin term superius. Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Mirella Freni and many more Italian Opera performers paved the way for many other talented singers in Opera through the inspiration of their work throughout the decades. Opera was born in Italy around the year 1600, and Italian Opera has continued to play a dominant role in the history of the form until the present day.

“Largo al factotum” is one of the most profound and popular operatic compositions. It is sung as the first entry in the opera ‘The Barber of Seville’ by well-known composer Rossini. Despite it being one of the most challenging compositions for a baritone to perform, it is still used in the comedy animated series ‘Tom and Jerry’.
