Your support matters. You make the difference.

 

IS THERE ANOTHER COMPANY LIKE US?

The simple answer is no. There’s no one more committed to reclaiming and  restoring these rare works  than we are! We’re working harder than ever to research,  reconstruct and restore  some of the most joyous music in the world.  It’s what we do best!  That’s why we need your support.

Our  Reclaimed Voices Series was created in 2018  to focus our work on the Jewish composers of opera and operetta who suffered disproportionately at the hands of the Nazis. The series was born out of necessity as these shows were dangerously close to being forgotten forever. For us it has become the embodiment of our mission.

We don’t just love their music; we also know that we have a responsibility to produce their works in the spirit in which they were intended. Operetta is simply an infinitely joyful escapist genre of entertainment; a balm for the soul and a salve for the mind.  As we preserve these works for future generations to come, please know that your support makes the difference.

Did you know that ticket sales account for only 20% of the funds needed to produce one of our shows?
