Station House Opera

Profile

With past projects ranging from spectacular site-specific works created with 10,000 breeze blocks, to simultaneous performances across continents using live internet streaming, Station House Opera is an internationally renowned performance company with a unique physical and visual style.

Founded in 1980, the company’s work varies enormously in scale, appearance and location and uses spectacle to explore the intimate relationship between people and the environment they inhabit. They have created projects in locations all over the world, from New York’s Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage to Dresden’s historic Frauenkirche and Salisbury Cathedral, and their Internet projects have spanned continents, with simultaneous performances as far apart as Brazil, Singapore and the UK.

“As stunningly visual as it is visionary.”

Glasgow Herald

“A company that can still be well ahead of the game.”

Guardian

“Station House Opera can’t be described, it must be experienced.”

Die Welt

“Strikingly dynamic, confusing, funny and alarming… unlike any other performance art I’ve seen.”
