Our 2026 Orpheus in the Underworld

"I have never seen ‘Orpheus in the underworld’. I had no idea what to expect from Kentish Opera. Need I worry “never”every production I have seen from Kentish Opera have been stupendous and I have seen a lot from Kentish Opera."

"Stephen you chose your cast expertly and all did you proud. I can’t single any of them out. But what voices they had I heard every word. Especially Richard Decker what a voice!! All the principles gave us professional performers. A massive amount of Nymphs Gods and Goddesses formed the Chorus and they gave us a wonderful sound."

"It was fantastic and congratulations ! The whole thing was a spectacle of colour with fantastic singing and we loved the humour. It was better than Glyndebourne."

On our 2024 production of Verdi's Aida

"truly stunning and a privilege to watch up close - more ‘immediate’ than a West End production and the better for it - and without paying London prices."

"you know you are in for a wonderful evening, and Aida didn’t disappoint. All the elements of grand opera are there - set, lighting, costumes ... professional performances, superlative orchestra, excellent direction ... this Aida was a joy to watch, what more to say!!"

Review of our 70th Anniversary Concert

"What a wonderful way to celebrate Kentish Opera's 70th anniversary and to honour their past director for many years, Sally Langford. I have been witness to Sally’s directorship, and she will be a sad loss to Kentish Opera.

Robyn Sevastos guided us through the programme of popular opera, sung wonderfully by soloists Stephen Antony Brown, Helen Bailey, Natasha Day and the glorious Kentish Opera chorus.

Robyn’s narration was very informative, giving us an insight into to the work that Sally had directed. It was also touching that her husband and son were in the audience and her daughter in the chorus.

Keep up the good work for Opera in Kent."
