Step into a magical world of folklore with Fables – A Film Opera, “Stories of survival, rebellion, greed and love come to light in a remarkable marriage of music and film”, (Independent on Sunday, 4 stars) a group of short films created by some of the UK’s leading composers and filmmakers and 125 performers who have experienced homelessness. Together they have created short films based on traditional fables ranging from the classic The Boy Who Cried Wolf to Shinishi Hoshi’s contemporary tale, Hey! Come on Out!

Narrators and live musicians will guide you through the films and the story of their creation, inviting you into the world of Fables and Streetwise Opera. If you have ever been curious about the power singing has to change people’s lives, come and see Streetwise Opera’s work in action.

Streetwise Opera is an award-winning charity that uses music as a tool to help 500 homeless people per year move forward in their lives. We do this through a weekly music programme in 11 homeless centres across England and by staging critically-acclaimed opera productions starring our homeless performers.
