Chamber Pot Opera is an original, all-female opera. Performed inside the Level 2 Ladies’ Powder Room at the Queen Victoria Building, Chamber Pot Opera tells the story of three women who meet there by chance, late one night.
In traditional opera, female characters are generally classed as one of three types: they’re either witches, bitches or breeches. Chamber Pot Opera skewers this age-old trope, granting its all-female cast the agency, power and potential to tell their own stories, solve their own problems and express themselves in a unique way.
The show’s contemporary storyline features a survivor of domestic abuse, a queer woman on a first date and a successful female executive. Each of them sing of a shared female experience, creating a show for opera aficionados and novices alike.
