Pippa and Karl's international careers have taken them to The Royal Opera House, English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Netherlands Opera, Minnesota Opera, Maggio Musicale Firenze in addition to festivals and concert halls throughout the world.

In 2006, the BBC screened a documentary about OPERAPLAYHOUSE filmed during the debut tour of the SMALLEST OPERA HOUSE in the WORLD. 

Performances are inspired by specific themes and locations - such as castle ruins, quarries, beaches, private gardens, homes - pieces based on the extraordinary and the ordinary. It is this diversity and theatrical inventiveness that inspires the work of OPERAPLAYHOUSE.
