Applications to take part

It is with deep regret that we have had to take the decision not to proceed with a Summer School this year. Providing an introduction to professional opera for singers and technical theatre students has been at the heart of our existence since 1974. However, it is felt that adding a further 70 people from around the UK and across the world, to the 80-odd soloists, orchestral musicians, production and technical teams, already living in close proximity on campus when the country is just emerging from lockdown, would not be the safest idea.

We are sure that our regular participants and supporters will understand our reasoning and we look forward to welcoming our usual Summer School partners to Festival 2022.
