A host of opportunities as NI Opera opens its Studio programme

Northern Ireland Opera is relaunching their highly regarded Northern Ireland Opera Studio in March 2021 and along with the existing year-long programme of development opportunities for emerging opera singers, there will be new paid opportunities available for conductors, repetiteurs, directors, stage and costume designers, stage managers, choreographers and stage technicians.

Applicants need to be domiciled on the island of Ireland now and aged between 21 and 35 when the programme begins in April 2021. Applications are invited by January 29 and successful applicants will be invited to auditions and/or interviews towards the end of February, public health restrictions allowing.

Northern Ireland Opera’s Artistic Director Cameron Menzies (pictured), said: “Northern Ireland Opera understands that it takes an extremely diverse array of highly skilled artists across many specific disciplines to create an opera. To acknowledge this, we believe the NI Opera Studio should also reflect this in relation to the breadth of its training. We look forward to opening our doors and seeing what amazing talent comes our way.”
