Cordelia’s Potted Operas

Cordelia’s Potted Opera provides an environment for young singers to nurture their talent. They are able to learn a wide variety of skills associated with becoming well rounded performers in the world of opera. As many of the Potted Operas are semi-staged, these young artists also have the opportunity to practise their stagecraft. They are mentored by the more experienced performers. The focus is always on fun and professionalism.
