For young people aged 14 – 18 with a commitment to developing their creative skills

The ENO Youth Company is a year-long programme for young people aged 14-18 with an interest in the arts and in developing their creative voice.

The young people taking part have a variety of different interests from performance to composition to design, and work together as a company over a series of six intensive workshops across the year. These sessions provide them with the chance to develop their skills, nurture their creativity, meet with professionals working in the industry, and make and perform their own work as a company.

Participants also have access to ENO dress rehearsals and performances across the year, and have priority access to work experience placements at ENO.

The ENO Youth Company is open to young people who have previously taken part in an ENO Engage youth project. Priority is given to young people attending ENO Engage Opera Squad schools and collaborating arts organisations.

Applications for 2019/20 Youth Company are now closed.
