There is quite a lot of activity internationally in the creation of orchestral reductions or chamber versions of operas, but they can be quite difficult to find (and can vary widely in the charges that hirers make!)
We’re trying to gather a list of the individuals and companies that offer chamber orchestrations. Please get in touch if you would like to be included in this list (or, indeed, if you don’t want to be included in this list). Contact Theatre Music Editions
