Help Support The DEBUT/Horizon Project
With the introduction of the latest national lockdown, a new wave of performances have been cancelled. As professional musicians, we recognise how important it is for our mental health and professional careers to have projects to work on and share with audiences. So when our latest show was cancelled we decided to put together a project that was viable in these times.
DEBUT/Horizon Project looks to the future of our opera industry, ensuring that our musicians are prepared for performance when the industry is able to get back on its feet, and that our audiences are wider, more diverse and more engaged than ever before.
Help Support The Project

“Jo and I put this project together in just three weeks (a fraction of the time we’d usually take to plan any normal DEBUT project), but we needed to. We couldn’t do another lockdown with nothing to work on, to inspire us and to bring together our fellow musicians.
We have managed to put the project together on an incredibly tight shoe-string budget - and are so grateful to the venues and professionals who have helped make this possible - but there are still costs involved. We know times are tough for everyone, but if you are able to help us by supporting the project, which has brought together 16 musicians and creatives, we would be immensely grateful.”
Big love and thanks,
