Youth Company
Garsington Opera’s Youth Company provides young people aged 9-18 with the opportunity to develop their creative skills and confidence through the exciting world of opera, whether that is on-stage through acting and singing or backstage as part of our Production Arts team.
Productions take place every summer at Garsington Opera, with rehearsals taking place at Garsington Studios. Application is via the form below and membership is through annual workshop auditions. No experience is necessary as we welcome young people from all backgrounds with enthusiasm and a zest for performing. All places are fully-funded and awarded on potential rather than prior experience.
Youth Company 2026 Production
Gone Fishing is a series of themed scenes based on operatic repertoire arranged by composer Richard Taylor. It’s an opportunity for young people to journey through many different stories and styles, exploring composers like Mozart & Rossini.
All Youth Company spaces for 2026 have now been filled. More information on how to apply for future projects will be available in Summer 2026. If you would like to register your interest in any of our future projects, you can do so using the enquiry form linked below.
