Black British Classical Foundation
Creating space for talent to thrive, stories to be heard, and futures to be imagined.
Support the Future of Black Opera
BBCF is building a stronger future for exceptional singers across the Commonwealth through Voice of Black Opera (VOBO), returning on 9 October 2026 at Fairfield Halls, Croydon.
To sustain this work, we are inviting a small circle of committed supporters to join us through regular monthly giving. Even modest contributions help us plan ahead, support artists, and keep VOBO thriving for years to come.
Voice of Black Opera 2026
Presented by the Black British Classical Foundation, the Voice of Black Opera (VOBO) returns in 2026 to celebrate the Commonwealth’s most promising Black and South Asian operatic talent.
