Pimlico Opera

Pimlico Opera is an opera company and registered charity founded in 1987 by Wasfi Kani.[1][2]

The company aims to use participation in opera to advance personal development – particularly with younger people and to engender a sense of community.[3][4][5]

The most recent production from Pimlico Opera was Sweet Charity staged in HMP Bronzefield in November 2018. Olivier award-nominated actress Laura Pitt-Pulford[6] played the leading role of Charity Hope Valentine.[7]
