This site records the history of an amateur
operatic society based in Oxfordshire, England from 1987 to 2000, when it
reformed itself into Oxford
Touring Opera. Opera Exchange was formed in 1987 to provide opportunities for local singers to perform in opera of the highest standard, and endeavoured to make its performances accessible to the widest possible audience by giving its staged performances in English, and by keeping ticket prices at a reasonable level. The early productions were given in Witney, at the Corn Exchange, but in later years all but one were performed at the Amey Hall in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK. Between staged productions the company presented concerts and recitals at various venues around Oxfordshire. The group consisted
of amateur and semi-professional singers and opera enthusiasts, and had quite
an international membership. We usually had several students singing with us
and a substantial number of past performers and accompanists have gone on to
study at music colleges, and many are now performing professionally.
