‘OUR REMIT IS TO MAKE


OPERA MORE


ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC,


PARTICULARLY THE YOUNG’


BRINGING BACK THE ARTS


A historic venue that offers first class opera is leading the fightback to regenerate the arts which have been hit so badly by coronavirus. Winslow Hall Opera (W.H.O.) is


based at Winslow Hall in Buckinghamshire which has been described as the finest house to survive that was built by renowned English architect Sir Christopher Wren. Building on previous successes,


W.H.O. is now planning a socially distanced production in July and August of La Bohème, probably the most dramatic opera composed by Puccini. There will be six performances, between 12 July and 8 August,


which will undoubtedly make W.H.O. one of the first Country House opera companies to perform since the pandemic began. To support this initiative, W.H.O.


is seeking donations and funding from local businesses, individuals and philanthropic donors. In particular, it is seeking a


major corporate sponsor, whose logo, advertisement and CEO’s message will feature in the event programme and whose support will be recognised in the publicity surrounding the opera. Conductor Oliver Gilmour


added: “We’re looking at ways in which we can involve the local community and at the same time reach those who may not have the


opportunity, or funds, to come and see a live opera. Indeed, part of our remit is to make opera more accessible to the public, particularly the young. “As part of the regeneration of


the ‘Arts After Covid’ we shall present the opera in a way that satisfies all social distancing requirements amongst performers and the audience.” The major corporate sponsor will


benefit from a full corporate entertaining package with many added opportunities to promote their own brand.

The start-up membership will also include £1m worth of legal


expenses insurance and the wider Chamber protection benefits such as Chamber HR, Chamber Legal, Chamber Health & Safety and Chamber Tax. We are delighted that the start-up membership is sponsored by GPW Consulting. Gary Wilson, managing director of GPW, said:


“GPW are very proud to be associated with the new Chamber Start-Up Membership scheme. We fully recognise the benefits that being a Chamber Member can offer and the fact this is now made available to start up businesses at a reduced cost is brilliant. Part of the services offered by GPW Consulting are business problem-solving sessions to support the growth and development of SME and start-up businesses. The level of service and access to support, help and advice offered by Milton Keynes Chamber will allow these new businesses to grow and flourish. It is great to be involved with such a pro-active and supportive service."
