The culmination of many years of development, with a leading creative team working with the communities of Hastings, St. Leonards and Bexhill – children, young people and adults – many of whom performed on stage alongside an outstanding professional cast and live band, BLOOM BRITANNIA is a hilarious, raucous, challenging, action-packed, thrilling production celebrating the joy of singing, music and creativity

BLOOM BRITANNIA (composer Orlando Gough, librettist Stephen Plaice) is Barefoot Opera’s new ‘people’s opera’. Our flagship project, it’s a celebration of music, singing and creativity.

Four years in the making, the project was dramatically interrupted by the pandemic. BLOOM BRITANNIA was finally staged at St. Mary in the Castle in Hastings in October 2021.
