We are internationally renowned for telling stories. This program allows us to work with adults and young people from across the city and offer an experience to the people of Birmingham.
Voices of the Future!

Are you a talented singer? Are you aged 16-19 years? Are you from Birmingham/ West Midlands? Then we want to work with you! Birmingham Opera Company is working with The Royal Opera House in London to put together a program of professional training for young (16-19 years) talented singers specifically from the West Midlands across four years. (3\4 bespoke vocal training opportunities across each year). Young people are the future of Opera and we want it to be a diverse and inclusive one!
