Working with consultant Sonia Stevenson, our team and trustees met in June to explore how we can share our stories, reach new audiences, and celebrate our unique spirit.

Sonia led us in a day of workshops and discussions exploring our vision, mission, purpose, goals, who we speak to and why we speak to them. The key takeaway from the day was that our unique 'rehearsal room spirit' lies at the heart of everything we do. Our open, responsive, people-centred and collaborative approach is not confined to the rehearsal room, it is central to everything we do. Read more about our Values.

The big question...how do we share this spirit with those that cannot be in the same physical space as us?

We explored the practical ways in which we can connect more meaningfully with our stakeholders - whether partners, funders, artists or audiences - to encourage them to join us on our journey. Through a blend of traditional media, community partnerships, creative campaigns, and a flexible, adaptable approach, we’ll bring Mahogany Opera’s stories to life in a way that resonates, inspires, and brings people together - making sure that Mahogany glows brightest when it’s needed most.

We only scratched the surface how we will bring this to life, but the whole team are energised and excited to have a collective shared understanding of where we are heading, and we look forward to developing as an organisation.

In true Mahogany Opera style, we aim to collaborate more widely to make this happen - connecting with our audiences and supporters to find out from you what you think is important about who we are and what we do, and how we might be able to do this better!
