Oxford Opera Youth Company

Q: What is Opera?

A: “It is the human story, told in the most incredible way, set to the most amazing music.”

Based in the heart of the city at The Old Fire Station, every Saturday during term time, Oxford Opera Youth Company will work in TWO age-specific groups allowing everyone to explore their own creativity, learn new skills and make new friends.

Led by our expert team of facilitators the weekly sessions will look at the wide range of skills that go into making opera – storytelling, singing, stagecraft, movement, composition, and even stage combat! This is a brand new and unique opportunity to get to know this fabulous art form from all angles! You will learn well-loved opera repertoire, but also explore creating new and exciting pieces as a group.

The course will also include visits from specially invited professional guests who will bring their experience and wisdom to their session – showcasing and focusing on a wide range of different skills throughout the year.

There will also be a minimum of two different performance opportunities throughout the year for everyone in the Company – including the possibility of joining the professional cast of Oxford Operas’ fully staged production of TOSCA at The Oxford Playhouse, in March 2025!

Classes at The Old Fire Station, every Saturday, from September 21st, as follows:

Ages 8 -12 from 2.15pm – 3.15pm

Ages 13 – 16 from 3.30pm – 5.00pm

Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of history as a member of Oxford Operas’ inaugural Youth Company!

Don’t forget: we have sibling discounts and bursary places available on request!
