Audio described opera on a UK tour
JOB DONE:SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE TO 'SUCCESS STORY' TO FIND OUT MORE...Welsh National Opera believes that opera is for everyone. We also believe that seeing opera performed live on stage is something special. To help those members of our audience who are blind or have a visual impairment enjoy as full an experience as possible, we offer audio-description and touch tours at our performances. Audio-description gives listeners a commentary of the action on stage as it happens so they don’t miss a thing. Touch tours allow users to get their hands on the set and costumes prior to each performance. This year, we want to provide these opportunities at performances of Rigoletto and Fidelio in Cardiff and on tour. £5000 will help us provide audio-description and touch tours at performances in Cardiff, Bristol, Llandudno, Birmingham, Liverpool and Oxford.
You'll See The Difference...We will post photos from the touch tours and clips featuring members of our audience, to show you how you helped enhance their opera-going experience.
Your support brought the opera to life!
Update: 17th August 2011. Dear Christopher, Gill, David, Sally and QR Heaney Thanks to your support, and that of our regular donors, we were able to put on a number of audio-described performances which, as the people in the video above will tell you, significantly enhanced their enjoyment of coming to the opera. A big thank you for helping us to make these performances happen. Kind regards Claire Heaney, Development Manager – Welsh National Opera |
