Formed in 2008 Co-Opera Co. developed from the realisation that the career path of young singers entering the operatic profession today is severely affected by the absence of the type of small prestigious company which was prevalent in the 1980s and 1990s.
It was possible at that time for young singers straight out of college to work alongside seasoned professionals; learning invaluable lessons by just watching and working with artists who have had years of experience on the operatic stage. Of course there are still opportunities for young artists to do this but they are rare, and with so many singing students entering the market place every year, unfortunately supply is outstripping demand.
Our mission at Co-Opera Co. is to provide young artists with the chance to work with and learn from some of the most eminent singers, conductors, directors, actors and choreographers in the business today. This we will do in a series of monthly weekend workshops and a summer school, at the end of which we will take two productions into London and then, hopefully, on tour.
