We keep our performances accessible through affordable ticket prices. Beyond the theatre we connect with people through our community and education work and digital projects. The energy which drives the Company today is rooted in its formation in the 1940s. In 1943, WNO was founded by a group of people from across South Wales including miners, teachers and doctors. They wanted to forge an opera company befitting Wales s rich reputation as the land of song. The first rehearsals took place above a car business in Cardiff and our first performance was given in April 1946 with the double bill of Cavalleria rusticana and I Pagliacci. From those early days onwards WNO has attracted some of the world s best opera singers, and indeed gave many young singers their first steps to international renown. Welsh National Opera has been led from the pit by a series of great Music Directors and has worked with many of the art form s most influential directors, traditions which continue to this day. Lothar Koenigs is Music Director of Welsh National Opera. He joined the Company in September Today the Company employs 230 people including artists, craftspeople, technicians and administrators based at its state of the art home, Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff. At its heart sit the Company s two full time ensembles, the 40 strong Chorus and 55 strong Orchestra. Every year the Company performs to over 120,000 people across 10 cities throughout Wales and England. David Pountney, one of the world s most influential opera directors, joined Welsh National Opera to lead the Company as Chief Executive and Artistic Director in Starting with Free Spirits in spring 2013 David s programming centres around themed seasons which bring different but thematically linked works together. Through these themed seasons we hope to take audiences on a journey of discovery and introduce a new generation of opera lovers to this great art form along the way.
