About Us

We perform set operas and cabarets in May-July, but for special occasions we also provide one-off individual performances on any day of operas, cabarets, church services and Requiem Masses. We receive no public funding, having always depended entirely on our supporters and clients.

Every performance is supported by a complete set of fully-rehearsed understudies, and is performed in the opera’s original language.

What the Critics Say:

Sunday Times: "Incontestable quality, a sort of Glyndebourne on tour."

Daily Telegraph:  "...again and again PAVILION's first-time audience are shocked into silence by the depth of the emotional response and by the astonishing beauty of those pure young voices of a quality rarely heard outside the great international opera houses."

The Independent: "The most vivid Lucia ever seen."

Opera Magazine: "Make a beeline for this company whenever you can."

The Guardian: "As true to Mozart's ideals as any Magic Flute I have enjoyed."

Productions in June and July 2015 will include Mozart's Magic Flute.
