RBO Youth Opera Programmes

The Royal Ballet and Opera’s Youth Opera programmes provide children aged 8 to 13 with rigorous music and drama training, creative projects and the chance to perform in world leading opera productions with The Royal Opera. 

Applications to join the Youth Opera Programme for the 2025/2026 season are now OPEN and will close on Friday 23 May.  

They are inviting young London-based singers to apply for their Youth Opera Programmes. Applicants must be aged 8 to 11 years old on 1 September 2025 and live in or around London. Applicants should be able to demonstrate: 

• A passion for and commitment to singing and good vocal control 
• An interest in drama and performing skills 
• The ability to collaborate well with others and follow direction 

The RBO particularly welcome applications from boys, those who are from a global majority background, and those who are disabled, as they are typically under-represented within our applicants.
