Nature: Unforgettable songs to celebrate the natural world

Centuries after Handel, Dvořák and Rimsky-Korsakov immortalised the beauty of the natural world, award-winning Streetwise Opera draws inspiration from their music to create a powerful new piece that confronts the urgent need to fight for our planet.

Join us for a 15-minute performance that brings together people with lived experience of homelessness, sharing their personal responses to nature and offering fresh perspectives on our relationship with the planet. The resulting short opera reflects on the emotional impact of nature and challenges society’s attitude towards rebuilding our relationship with the natural world.

Streetwise Opera enables people who’ve experienced homelessness to find inspiration and empowerment while they rebuild their lives and identities. They support participants to develop as creative people and, as they amplify their voices, change how society views both homelessness and opera.

This performance is in response to Wild exhibition at Manchester Museum.
