ABOUT
Flat Pack Music is a registered charity (CIO No. 1191849). We are a North West England music charity focused on providing a positive change in the perception of and engagement with music and the performing arts. Our aim is to facilitate cross generational and community closeness, whilst helping to support mental and physical well being through music.
Flat Pack Music has been working with these goals in mind since 2017. We have introduced new audiences young and old to classical music and opera, helped young professionals develop their skills through performance opportunities and masterclasses, and brought communities together in their own public spaces through musical events.
We focus on making our performances as accessible as possible. We usually perform our Operas in English, we cut heavy repetition out (where possible) in favour of a more modern linear narrative, with familiar and exciting settings. For example, our production of Cosi fan Tutte is set in an Essex coffee shop, and our production of the Marriage of Figaro used a Downton Abbey style setting. When performing music in a foreign language in concerts, we have written a narrator part as a verbal explanation of the narrative to aid the audience's understanding.

What People are saying:
You’ve got to know what you’re doing to take opera in a slightly different direction and Flat Pack Music have that in droves as this superb production perfectly fills the void between traditional opera and the more recent musical interpretation of Rent, with the the English language translation adding to the audience’s appreciation of superbly performed arias from the cast.

North West End Rating: ★★★★★
The combination of voices in the cast blended beautifully to create an outstanding show which was mesmerising throughout.
Reviewer: Donna M Day
The beauty of Flat Pack Music’s production of La Bohème, performed on Saturday 29th October at the Casa Theatre, aside from the spell-binding singing, mesmerising piano and captivating drama, is how both opera virgins, such as myself, and libretto aficionados alike are catered for by this accessible English-language rendition of one of the most popular Italian operas of all time.
