Opera North's 2010 Young Artists

Opera North’s Young Artist Program is distinguished from other apprentice programs in the variety and quality of the opportunities provided. For six weeks, Opera North Young Artists are placed in an environment that is nurturing and beneficial. They are treated as professionals and provided with compensation and a comfortable place to live, freeing them to concentrate on their personal musical and professional advancement.

The focus of the Program is on education through performance, which comes principally from an opportunity to perform and cover appropriate roles in both main stage productions of the Opera North season, and to work with world-class directors, designers, and conductors.

The Program is supported by a group of Young Artist Angels, who give annual gifts of $1,500 and more, specifically in support of Opera North’s Young Artist Program. “Angels” sponsor particular singers and act as their local hosts during the summer, attending rehearsals and private receptions, entertaining them, and enjoying the rewards of directly supporting America’s emerging opera talent.
