The National Opera Studio was established by the Arts Council as a link between the music colleges and the six main UK opera companies.

We provide a master course for a small number of young and exceptionally talented singers and repetiteurs, to prepare them for their professional careers in opera.

The intensive one-year course, running from September to June, provides individual tuition at an international level and is designed to add dramatic, language and interpretative skills to refine the students' existing talents.

The Studio works closely with the six main British opera companies, who help select the 12 singers and 4 repetiteurs whom they believe have real prospects of becoming principal artists.
