FUNDING:
DEADLINE:
Our 9-month Young Artist Programme is one of the most respected opera training opportunities for singers in the world. Each year, we select 12 exceptional singers to join this intensive, full-time programme based at our home in London. The programme is paid and designed to bridge the gap between conservatoire training and a sustainable career in opera. Young Artists receive world-class training across every aspect of operatic life, equipping them with the musical, artistic, physical, psychological, and professional tools needed for long-term success in the industry

KEY DATES:
Paid professional training for emerging repetiteurs preparing for work in opera. This 9-month long training programme supports repetiteurs with advanced coaching, collaborative practice, and real-world experience. Each year, we offer intensive, high-quality training to four exceptional repetiteurs as part of our Young Artist Programme based at our home in London. Our aim is to prepare them for the full spectrum of a modern repetiteur’s career, whether on stage, in the pit, or in the rehearsal room.
The programme focuses on building a comprehensive and practical skillset, equipping repetiteurs to meet the varied musical, technical, and collaborative challenges they will encounter professionally.
At the beginning of the year, each Young Artist’s existing repertoire and experience are carefully assessed to identify areas for development. From this, we design a tailored training structure that ensures broad and balanced exposure to operatic repertoire spanning different styles and periods. Throughout the year, Young Artists work with a diverse range of music, with particular emphasis on filling any gaps in their knowledge and practical experience.
REPETITEURS ARE GIVEN:
KEY DATES:
There is no upper age limit for applying to NOS. However, applicants are reminded that the Young Artist Programme is very intensive and is intended for singers and repetiteurs who are at the beginning of their professional operatic careers. Although it is not a formal requirement, applicants are expected to have significant performance experience and to have been training, in some form, for a number of years.
