To achieve charity status, BMTG has a commitment to "educate the public in the dramatic and operatic arts to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts" (to quote the objectives held in the charity register). Much of this is done via our work in the community but, equally, this website, belonging to the society, can perform a role in this.

Therefore, over time we shall put together a number of useful pages of material about the dramatic and operatic arts, which we think you will find useful. Details of these are below.

If you have any questions about these, including suggestions for further topics, then please feel free to contact us.
