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 as part of our GO Backstage 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.
