Harmony in Diversity
About us
We produce high quality performances with a focus on promoting emerging artists of African and Asian heritage. Pegasus is a professional opera company with a family of widespread international artists, participants and supporters. We produce high-quality performances and balance this with a focus on artist development, with an eye to promoting the talents of emerging artists of African and Asian heritage and bringing this onto eminent platforms of note and significance. For almost thirty years, Pegasus Opera Company has been the home for singers, composers, instrumentalists and directors predominately, but not exclusively, from diverse African and Asian heritage. Established in South London and grown from solid and credible roots, we still work out of our home in Brixton. The Company has held true to our founder Lloyd Newton’s credo of ‘harmony in diversity’. We have inspired many to love opera; and we celebrate the music of rich African, Asian and Caribbean diasporas whilst weaving into the fabric of the British performing arts, using creativity to challenge and advocate for positive change.

And here is part 2 of the conversation between Alison Buchanan of Pegasus Opera Company Ltd. and Princess Agina recorded at the Business of Opera conference in London. Alison talks about what effective mentorship means post college when artists go out into the real world, and the importance of working with people with lived experience. You do not get better if people are not honest with you.

"Opera is telling stories about global humanity." In part 1 of a conversation between Alison Buchanan of Pegasus Opera Company Ltd. and Princess Agina, Alison describes how Pegasus Opera empowers artists from the global majority and gives them skills to develop their careers in opera. There is a lot of talk about diversity, but there is a need to move further from a tick box exercise to making diversity part of the DNA of the art form.

Continuing with our celebration of Trustees’ Week 2024, it is a pleasure to introduce Satarupa Ghosh who has recently joined as a Trustee of Pegasus Opera Company! Satarupa brings a wealth of experience: MBA from Cranfield school of management and working in senior leadership roles across Insurance for the past 20 years. Satarupa is an Indian Classical vocalist and actively performs in the UK and India. Satarupa works actively to provide a platform to other upcoming asian artists and also coaches aspiring vocalists. She is an active member of REACH ERG (Race, Ethnicity & Cultural Heritage) employee resource group at her work place, sponsor of iCAN (Insurance Cultural Awareness Network- biggest network to promote D&I in insurance) and actively advocates for diversity & inclusion. She is involved in several volunteering activities, including working with SMART WORKS charity who enable women to return to employment by providing tailored coaching and interview dressing service. She constantly strives to build high-performing teams and mentors individuals both inside and outside of work. She works to support single parents and victims of domestic violence by sharing her life stories and inspiring others who might be dealing with similar situations. Her love for opera and passion for diversity and inclusion in the field of music drove her to join Pegasus due to synergies between the work she has already done in the field of Indian music. Thank you Satarupa 👏🏽 #trusteesweek #charity #trustee #opera #operacompany #harmonyindiversity #diversity #globalmajority #classicalmusic
