P’opera

Alex Roose in rehearsal for P’opera

P’opera is streetscape opera, reimagining popular operatic tunes with new lyrics that reflect our contemporary experience.

The music is well-loved and familiar - the stories are our own. We follow singers through shopping arcades, are serenaded from balconies, in coffee queues and while waiting for the bus, and are swept up into the daily cares and concerns of our singers.

P’opera is created by Various People Inc with assistance from Arts South Australia, Chamber Music Adelaide, the City of Adelaide and Adelaide Arcade management.

In 2020, our singers stayed home… P’opera stays home is the isolation sequel to our streetscape experience.
