Supporting Emerging Artists

Longborough Festival Opera is committed to supporting young talent, and our Emerging Artist programme is essential to our efforts of ensuring the future of high-calibre opera performances for generations to come.

Each year our Emerging Artist production helps young UK performers and other arts professionals to launch their careers in a supportive and meaningful way – on the stage, in the orchestra pit, and in many other aspects of the production.
