RCS Opera

@SeenandHeardInt seem to have liked our American double bill last week! seenandheard-international.com/2023/11/rcss-m…

Today we have just announced our plans for Opera training at the RCS from 2025. This time last week we had a masterclass with RCS alumna Karen Cargill. Our next is on Dec 1st with @susanbu1 . Accompanied by #CameronBurns and with #charlottebateman as well as @philipjwopera

@ScottishOpera 3/3. This rare opportunity for emerging singers to perform with a national company as part of their studies is the final stage of a programme of intensive learning and teaching at RCS, supported by Scottish Opera from the recruitment phase to the final performances.

@ScottishOpera 2/3. Students will perform with @ScottishOpera in Glasgow + Edinburgh as a culmination of their studies. The Diploma is due to launch Sept 2025, with applications open from Jul 2024. It'll create a bespoke learning/performance environment required by contemporary singers.

This is a very exciting development! A unique offering which is adapting to the ever changing opera scene in the UK and the challenges young singers face. And it’s in Scotland! Bravo 👏 @jeffreysharkey @philipjwopera @ScottishOpera

“We already have a strong working relationship with RCS and have them to thank for nurturing homegrown talent and attracting much young talent to Scotland, including members of our Young Company and the likes of Ross Cumming and Lea Shaw who are 2023/24 Season Emerging Artists.”
