£5 of the sale of each exclusive Festive T-Shirt by artist Leonard Beard is donated to Streetwise Opera Charity
This year 2020 has been a very challenging year but the positive side is that we have learned to appreciate what we have and help each other.
We would like to do our bit by donating £5 of the sale of each Festive T-Shirt to Streetwise Opera Charity, a charity that does wonders with homeless people, they empower them and help them regain their confidence through singing and creativity workshops.
This is an inspiring clip which has an uplifting message : "There is always hope".
With my very best wishes

As I explore the songs of The Merry Widow by Franz Lehár, I find it refreshing to sing about love in such a beautiful and uplifting way. From “Vilia, O Vilia” in which a handsome huntsman falls under the spell of a fair mountain sprite, to the romantic and elegant “Unspoken Love,” with its memorable sentiment that “the world is in love with love, and I love you,” these songs capture the charm and optimism that make operetta so enduring. The operetta repertoire presents different challenges from opera. It requires a lighter vocal approach while still conveying emotional depth, elegance, and sincerity. A timeless gem, that will delight audiences of all ages and offers music that can be enjoyed by family and friends alike.
