Be a Supporter

We are known for offering the most intensive and tailored of opera training experiences anywhere in the UK. Our Donors are essential as without them we could not offer the training that we do.

Donors can follow the Young Artists on their journey to success, gaining unique insights into their development as an artist. They also support the work of the Studio in general, for example by developing our ambitions for an inclusive profession through Diverse Voices which aims to enable people from all backgrounds and cultures to develop their ambitions and skills in opera.

It is also possible for you to support a particular singer, pianist, our coaches or a particular project should you wish – please contact Robert Moffat our Head of Philanthropy for details [email protected].

Becoming a donor gives you opportunities to become part of the Studio’s life and to meet our artistic team, Young Artists and coaches. We also credit our donors on our website and in our programmes. But more than that it enables you to see first-hand the fascinating process of professional and personal development that our Young Artists experience during their time with us.

It is possible to make single donation at any time, but should you wish to make a more substantial donation, there are three ways you can help us. Click on each section below to find out more:

“Supporting the NOS is rather like rooting for Hans Sachs in his endeavours to instruct the talented von Stolzing; the wise, experienced teacher guiding those who seek excellence. All teachers need sufficient resources to be effective. Helping the talented artists to attend the Studio with a financial contribution, has an immediate reward – the opportunity to watch and listen to 16 artists each year as they build on their talents. This privilege is enormously pleasurable.”

– Lionel Anthony, Artistic Development Circle Supporter

“Over my years involved in opera, one of the things that has most inspired me is seeing a succession of promising young singers mature into real artists. I am thrilled to become the Chair of the National Opera Studio, which is at the forefront of opera training in the United Kingdom and plays such an important part in that process.”

– Nicholas Allan, Chair of Trustees
