Jubilee Opera Chorus, formed three years ago, offers sessions during the term time for choral training, together with opportunities for young people to develop skills as solo performers.

Activities
Training sessions during the spring and summer terms lead on to a production in the autumn. Jubilee Opera Chorus is augmented through public advertisement, invitations and auditioning, to form a company of singers, musicians, designers, stage management and other supporting helpers, to produce operas written by established and new composers, featuring young people and professionals. Participation takes the form of rehearsals and production sessions out of school hours and at weekends, leading to public performances in the Jubilee Hall, Aldeburgh and elsewhere in the region.

Membership
There is no formal membership, but core members of Jubilee Opera Chorus are expected to be committed. There is no subscription fee.

General business
The affairs of the group are controlled by a Management Committee comprising the Artistic Director, the Administrator, the Treasurer and up to two other members involved in the productions. A further two members may be co-opted if required. Meetings are held as necessary to plan repertoire and productions.

Financial
A budget is set annually and a report and accounts produced in December. Funding is sought through private and public sponsorship. A small reserve is kept for cash flow purposes. All fees are paid on a self-employed basis. Jubilee Opera does not have employees as such and the Management Committee operates on a voluntary basis.

Child Protection
We operate a stringent protection policy following guide lines laid down by the Children Act.

Equal Opportunities
The opportunities to join Jubilee Opera are open to anyone who has an interest in the work we do.

Jubilee Opera Trust
Has been set up as a registered charity. (No. 1175291) Its aims are to raise funds, with tax benefits under gift aid, for Jubilee Opera.
