B'Opera create beautiful music for tiny ears through interactive performances for babies, toddlers and their grown-ups.

B'Opera has been tried, tested and much loved in Early Years settings, libraries, churches, children's centres, art galleries and theatres,
as well as outdoor venues.
If you have a space, and are interested in enriching your offering for families with young children, we are probably right for you.

Relaxed Concerts
Always performed by professional musicians, our concerts are interactive with a relaxed atmosphere where audience members, young and old alike, can enjoy and appreciate the performance at their own level. If you have a particular topic you need bringing to life, speak to us about how we can create the perfect concert to engage your young ones in new ideas.
