Longborough’s Emerging Artist production provides a unique performance opportunity with a world-class opera company. 

The scheme is ideal for singers that have recently finished, or are about to finish, their vocal studies; performers at the beginning of their careers; and those returning to the profession.

"The programme was invaluable in terms of improving musicianship, stagecraft and physical awareness. It provides a very positive and helpful start to our careers"

Chorus and Emerging Artist applications for Longborough’s 2023 season are now open. 

  • Chorus for Götterdämmerung by Richard Wagner, 3 April – 6 June 2023.
  • Chorus for The Elixir of Love by Gaetano Donizetti, 8 May – 1 July 2023.
  • Emerging Artist production The Fairy-Queen by Henry Purcell, 15 June – 3 August 2023.

If you would like to apply for any of these opportunities, please submit the form before Friday 29 July 2022.

As part of the form, you will be asked to provide a link to a 30-second recording of yourself. Please upload it to a platform that we can access such as Google Drive, YouTube, Soundcloud or similar. This can be video, or audio only, and it doesn't need to be a professional recording - on a phone is fine. This is an opportunity to show off and show us what you can do. If accompanied, we do not need more than a couple of bars of piano introduction.

If you are successfully shortlisted for an audition, you will be contacted by a member of the Longborough team. Auditions will take place in London at the beginning of September 2022.

Thank you for applying!
