Youth Music Mentors

Welcome back to Bukola Abdul and Stefan Vitalis, previous participants on East End Opera’s youth music programmes, and welcome to new recruits Emma Williams and Amma Adjei who will be working with East End Opera as Youth Music Mentors for the Newham Young People’s Chorus. They will work with experienced lead voice tutors during the preparations for the NYPC concert, visiting schools and leading elements of the rehearsals and workshops over the coming months.

As Youth Music Mentors they are gaining valuable experience in workshop facilitation building up their work experience as they begin their professional careers in music.

The Opera Collective

East End Opera’s long-term aims include the development of a strong, committed, professional ensemble. With this in mind we have created The Opera Collective.

Led by artistic director Shirley Keane The Opera Collective is an interactive practice session for professional singers.

The ongoing workshops encourage singers to take their solo practice out of the studio and to share their experience and talents with their peers by working together on opera scenes, duets and ensemble with experienced accompanists.

The Opera Collective offers singers the opportunity to

* Explore new repertoire
* Develop acting skills
* Increase motivation
* Generate new contacts
* Create performance opportunities

For details of times and cost please email a copy of your CV to info@eastendopera.co.uk

Please note The Opera Collective is for professional standard singers.
You must have attended a third level vocal course or have equivalent professional experience.
