Northern Ireland Opera Studio to introduce new paid opportunities for opera makers

Northern Ireland Opera has announced a relaunch of its programme of development opportunities for singers, which will introduce new paid opportunities 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 will close on 29 January 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, 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.'
