Opera Nova with Cleveland Youth Opera
Middlesbrough, Stockton
Opera Nova aims to provide entertainment of a professional quality in the North East of England and to develop the talents of local singers of all ages. Since our merger with Cleveland Youth Opera we particularly welcome young members.
Our most recent productions include 'Carmen', 'The Tales of Hoffmann', 'The Magic Flute' and 'Die Fledermaus', all of which were cast from local soloists and choristers from the North East.
We also present concerts and other musical events to promote opera and to support local enterprises and charities. Opera Nova has performed at venues throughout the region including The Gala Theatre Durham, Richmond's Georgian Theatre and Middlesbrough Theatre.
We are always seeking new members. You do not need to be able to sight read to sing with us and you will not have to audition, but regular attendance and enthusiasm are essential!
If you don't want to sing you can support the group as a non-performing member - to help behind the scenes (e.g. with costumes, scenery, stage management, lighting, administration etc.) and to assist with front of house duties at all events.
We rehearse every Tuesday from 7.30pm - 9.30pm at Holy Trinity Church, Hartburn,

Tees Valley Barbershop Harmony Club
Middlesbrough, Stockton
About five years ago a group of men who travelled to Yorkshire for their barbershop 'fix' decided to form their own group based in the Tees Valley, thus the Tees Valley Barbershop Harmony Club came to be formed.
In autumn 2004 the club was officially accepted as full members of our parent body, the British Association of Barbershop Singers.
Since our foundation we have been busily building up our repertoire, improving our singing and attracting members until at present we have about 25 singers in the group, many of who had never experienced choral singing before.
This May we are taking 22 members to Cheltenham to compete at Convention, the national celebration of all things barbershop.
We are continually striving to introduce men to the joys of choral singing and to this end have organised a 'Learn to Sing' course starting September 23, lasting for 5 weeks based at Teesside University.
Feel free to drop in to any rehearsal, you will be made most welcome.
We rehearse every Tuesday at 7.30pm in the WMNT Resource Centre, Meath Street, Middlesbrough TS1 4RZ.
