Over the last decade Opera Interludes has achieved a considerable reputation for presenting opera performances in country houses, livery halls, embassies, hotels and gardens under the Artistic Directorship of Philip Blake-Jones.
Throughout the centuries musical performances have been presented in palaces, country houses and gardens long before the formal concert hall or theatre became part of musical culture.
In the 18th century much of the music of great composers such as Handel and Mozart was written for performances in the homes of their patrons but it was in the late 19th century that the 'soirée' as we know it today developed.
Hosts would entertain their guests before or after dinner with a musical presentation of the highest standard. Now, when many of the world's greatest houses are increasingly available for corporate entertainment and charity events, it is only natural that music should have become a part of such occasions.
Opera as near perfection as you could get it.
