Pegasus Opera’s mentoring programme with Danielle de Niese in 2024 |
Pegasus Opera launched its opera mentoring programme in 2020 in response to the continued underrepresentation of classical artists of global majority heritage on the UK opera stages. Now run annually, the programme pairs each mentee with established global majority mentors who are seasoned opera professionals delivering one to one coaching on repertoire, vocal technique and career advice. Last year all mentees performed in a masterclass with Danielle de Niese, as well as in a showcase for leading industry figures.
Artists invited to be on the programme will also receive a £350 bursary to ensure there are no barriers in attending the programme.
The programme is once again open for applications and continues to work in partnership with Glyndebourne Opera House. Applications will close on Sunday 23 March, shortlisted applicant auditions will be held in London on Monday 31 March and successful applicants will be notified by Monday 14 April. More information can be found on the Pegasus Opera website.
