Youth Opera

The Sarasota Youth Opera was founded over 25 years ago and over the past decade the program has grown substantially. It serves as a comprehensive training program designed for young people, ages 8-18. The program admits all who apply, regardless of skill level and provides an exploration of the musical and theatrical aspects of opera.

As a member of the Sarasota Youth Opera you will receive:

• Training in classical and operatic singing.
• Performance opportunities at venues throughout the community.
• Performance opportunities with the Sarasota Opera’s professional mainstage company.
• Performance opportunities in a fully staged Youth Opera production.
• Placement into a section of the Youth Opera Chorus that will help nurture each singer’s individual skill level.
• The opportunity to work with professionals in the opera industry who are passionate about what they do.

What our singers say:

"Youth Opera is a place where I can go and learn music and enjoy it with people who care."

"I really enjoy Youth Opera because it lets you work hard yet still have a lot of fun."

"I love it because I like learning all the different languages and the music is beautiful."
