about the company:
At Little Match Productions, we are passionate about exploring our collective humanity via its most primal and intrinsically expressive media - the voice.
Live musical performance connects performers and audiences intangibly. As our world becomes digitised and remote, human bodies in a room where art is shared is more vital than ever before. We at Little Match Productions are insatiably curious to share and hear other’s voices, both literally and figuratively.
Our works traverse comedy-cabaret, opera, classical music and children’s productions, delivering musical experiences that combine arresting and original musical arrangements, vocal acrobatics and compelling storytelling.
Over the past six years, Little Match Productions (formerly Little Black Dress Creatives) has developed a reputation for its unique ability to present classical repertoire and vocal techniques in creative contemporary contexts.
Creating works for Children/Families, the cabaret group Babushka, operatic ensemble Belladiva and cabaret artist Bethan Ellsmore, Little Match Productions has a focus on creating roles, collaborations and opportunities for female artists and arts professionals.
