National Opera Studio's 2019/20 Young Artists' Farewell Concert

National Opera Studio - 2019/20 Young Artists

Next Friday, 5 June 2020, should have been the Farewell Concert for the 2019/20 intake of Young Artists at the National Opera Studio (NOS). It doesn't seem five minutes since we caught the Young Artists in one of their showcase concerts at the start of their year [see my article], and in February they presented Opera to Die For at Wales Millennium Centre and Sadler's Wells Theatre. [see my article]

In fact, the Farewell Concert is still taking place, but this year, thanks to the strange times we live in, the concert will be taking something of a different form. Taking place on-line, on the NOS YouTube channel, the event will consist of a wide range of videos celebrating the singers' and repetiteurs' time at the centre, all of it curated by the Young Artists themselves.

The videos will include individually sung arias and creative collaborative ensemble performances, all of which will be brought together into one film and premiered next Friday (5 June) the NOS YouTube Channel. I hope you will join them to wish them well on their way.
