SPECIALISING IN THE PERFORMANCE OF WAGNER'S OPERAS
ABOUT THE LONDON OPERA COMPANY
The London Opera Company formed in the summer 2020 to give fellow musicians and international opera singers who had lost their work to the Covid pandemic the opportunity to keep performing and to give music lovers a first class treat after a summer devoid of live concerts.
In October 2020, the LOC gave its inaugural performance: a sold-out and rapturously received chamber concert of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde at The Warehouse, London.
Opera magazine said, of this performance, 'Not only was there no weak link in the cast; strength of ensemble and dramatic interaction rendered it considerably more than the sum of its parts...Above all, this was an accomplished and moving
company debut.'

Reviews highlights :
”In a very short period of time The London Opera Company have shown themselves to be Leaders in Wagner”
“The cast that was assembled here was truly special”
“Duet in Act Two…. It was opera at Its Finest’
“…an orchestra of over sixty… produced an extremely engaging sound…”
“Act II stood as something special in this highly accomplished performance”
'Neal Cooper was a superb Tristan, with his sound being clear and well shaped, and extremely expansive when it needed to be. Cara McHardy delivered some exceptionally impassioned singing as Isolde, and totally embraced all facets of the role. Harriet Williams revealed an immensely full and nuanced mezzo-soprano as Brangäne, while Simon Thorpe displayed a notably rich and engaging baritone as Kurwenal. Simon Wilding was a moving Marke. Ben Thapa juggled the roles of Melot, the Young Sailor and the Shepherd to excellent effect. Henry Wright played his part to the full in the small role of the Steersman.'
