The company's first production is Mozart's Don Giovanni which will begin its tour in 2021.

"Thanks to the support of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, we will be able to bring world-class opera to people's doorsteps across Ulster," said Williams. "From Letterkenny to Armagh and from Cavan to Newtownabbey we will work tirelessly to bring the beauty of opera back into people's lives at this challenging time."
