chorus of the royal opera house covent garden

The repertoire is mainly opera, which entails elements of drama, movement, staging and costume that are not always featured in a choir. The ROHTCC is not a typical community chorus. Anyone living, working, volunteering or studying in Thurrock is welcome to join, regardless of background or ability to sing. Their wish was granted, with the founding of the Royal Opera House Thurrock Community Chorus (ROHTCC) in 2011, and today is comprised of 140 members between the ages of 10 and 80. Performed by 200 Thurrock members of the public and Royal Opera House professionals, the show symbolised the espousal of the ROH’s Central London roots to its expansion in the industrial hinterland.Īfter Ludd and Isis, members inquired how they could locally pursue their involvement with the Royal Opera House and if they could start a community chorus. The People’s Chorus was the fruit of this marriage, tying in all the elements of the estuary. He gained her heart by coupling creativity with industry. Rich with metaphors, it told the tale of two gods of the Thames Isis, queen of the upper river who was wooed by the king of the lower river, Ludd. To inaugurate the site in December 2010, the specially commissioned Purfleet Opera performed Ludd and Isis in the empty Production Workshop.
