Youth Opera Project
Kentucky Opera’s Youth Opera Project engages young performers in its 10-month after school program. This program for ages 8-18 immerses students in a professional theatre environment with supportive professional teaching artists. Youth Opera Project participants will be cast in chorus roles, solo roles, and be offered other performing opportunities on Kentucky Opera’s mainstage and in the community throughout the season.
2023/24 Season
This season, join the Youth Opera Project for The Hobbit! This fully-staged opera will be performed in June 2024 at the Kentucky Opera Center for Cultural Health.
YOP students also have the opportunity to audition for Mainstage operas and various performance opportunities throughout the season.
Rehearsals take place every Monday after school, with additional rehearsals around specific events. Everyone is welcome to join, regardless of experience, skill level, or financial circumstances.
