Today, the Peter Moores Foundation supports talented young singers with annual scholarships, has made it possible for Chandos Records to issue the world's largest catalogue of operas recorded in English translation and enabled Opera Rara to record rare bel canto repertoire which would otherwise remain inaccessible to the general public.
Sir Peter Moores' philanthropic work began with his passion for opera: in his twenties he gave financial help to a number of young artists in the crucial, early stages of their careers, several of whom – Dame Joan Sutherland, Sir Colin Davis and the late Sir Geraint Evans amongst them – became world-famous.
In live performance, the Peter Moores Foundation has encouraged the creation of new work, schemes to attract new audiences, financed the publication of scores, especially for world premières of modern operas, and enabled rarely heard works to be staged by British opera companies and festivals.
Anthony Freud, General Director, Houston Grand Opera, Texas and previously of Welsh National Opera
 
'It will be no exaggeration to say that Peter Moores is one of the most significant, most important figures in British opera, and has been for the last 30 years.'
