Founded back in 1968, what was originally Edinburgh University Opera Club formed under the guidance of University professors and lecturers. Its aim was much as it is now, to perform high standard opera. The first performance was a UK premiere of Monteverdi’s opera L’Orfeo. In the last 37 years, the society has undergone much change. For some time now the society has been run by students alone with great success. Also, the society has changed its name throughout the years finally ending up with its present name: Edinburgh Studio Opera (ESO).
They needed a classy and engaging new site to promote their 2009/10 season of operas, get people involved in the society and try and raise money for productions. We used Wordpress as a cost-effective starting point, and then built a bunch of CMS features on top.
