Opera Prelude's OperaWorks returns

Following the success of last year's inaugural event, Opera Prelude has announced the return of OperaWorks, an affordable professional development day for opera students and early career artists, to be held at the Chelsea Theatre on Tuesday 24 October 2023. 

Hosted by soprano, librettist and producer April Koyejo-Audiger, the event will feature a series of morning sessions for singers tackling everything from finance and audition success to mental health, whilst the afternoon will see a panel of influential figures from the opera and music world come together for a conference around the theme of New Directions: Making Opera Work for All. The day will culminate in a recital by some of the UK’s most exciting new opera talent, the Opera Prelude Young Artists, onstage at the Chelsea Theatre.

Opera Prelude, a charity whose mission is to increase opera’s accessibility and nurture new talents from all backgrounds, has a roster of industry figures – from singers and educators to artistic directors and company founders – who will be participating in a day of workshops, talks and panel discussions designed to help the opera stars of tomorrow navigate the evolving modern opera scene.
