Leeds Youth Opera brings together young people aged 12-25 from Leeds and surrounding areas to dive-into opera and operetta and to experiment, to explore, to build a love for opera in its many forms.

Led by professional music and artistic directors, LYO creates an environment for young people in Leeds who are interested in vocal, dramatic and orchestral arts to learn by performing real opera on a real stage.

Each year we perform one, and often two, fully staged productions. LYO is one of very few regional youth opera groups and is widely considered a unique society. A few years with Leeds Youth Opera can bring a lifetime love for opera, lasting friendships, and growing self-confidence.
