"A prominent local opera company that stages full-scale productions and lighter outreach concerts—such as an 'Opera in the Park' series that draws younger audiences by featuring recognizable movie and commercial themes. While it presents classics in original languages like Italian and German, the company uses surtitles and pre-performance introductions to make works accessible. It runs several young-artist development platforms (a children’s choir, a chorus and a named artists’ training programme) and programs contemporary approaches—for example mounting a relatively minimalist production of Aida—while emphasizing the development of strong, unaided operatic voices." - Jo Tan
