If you are considering being part of British Youth Opera as a singer for our 2009 production or workshops please read below our audition policy to establish if you are eligible.

The Company's primary purpose is to offer operatic experience to singers having a serious aim of pursuing careers in opera performance, are at the start of their careers, and are new to the profession.


- To that end, in selecting singers for audition, the Company will give preference to applications from singers of any nationality who are studying full-time at a music college in the United Kingdom.

- The Company will also consider applications from singers who are about to start, or who have recently finished, such study in the United Kingdom.

- The Company may, at its discretion, consider applications from other singers resident in the UK, where such applications contain evidence that the applicant has a serious aim of pursuing a career in opera performance, is at the start of his or her career, and is new to the profession.

- All applications must be counter-signed by the applicant's singing teacher or vocal coach, confirming that the applicant would benefit from and is suitable for a
training place with the Company.

Auditions take place in London throughout January and also in Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, and Manchester. Recalls are only in London in February. An application pack will be available on line in November 2008.

Repetiteurs and Assistant Conductors
We are no longer accepting applications for these positions.

If you have any enquiries about the application/audition process please contact Marcella by email or by phone on 020 7815 6090.
