Emerging Artists

Our Emerging Artists programme gives early career singers, repetiteurs, wig makers, casting officers, directors, and costume makers the opportunity of a lifetime: a period of full-time work with the Company to help them launch their careers.

In 2026/27, we welcome:

Sopranos Charlotte Jane Kennedy and Avery Lafrentz
Mezzo-soprano Charlotte Clapperton
Tenor Luvo Maranti
Baritone Daniel Barrett
Repetiteur Alistair Burton
Casting Officer Joseph Hookway
