Yulanda M. Faris Young Artists Program Auditions

Vancouver Opera’s Yulanda M. Faris Young Artists Program engages, enriches, mentors, and trains rising young Canadian opera artists and offers a bridge between formal academic educational programs and the professional world in a supportive and encouraging environment.

VO’s 2023-2024 Young Artists Program will provide up to six artists — singers, pianists and stage directors — with the opportunity to train with industry leaders through master classes, workshops, one-on-one coachings and performance opportunities as part of a residency program.

Singers will receive regular coachings with Vancouver Opera’s resident music staff as well as training in diction, movement, acting, stage combat, and a variety of other areas in this comprehensive, performance-oriented program.

Pianists, under the guidance of the Vancouver Opera music staff, will work with Young Artists Program singers in regular coachings and may also act as rehearsal pianists for mainstage productions.

Stage Directors will work with Young Artists Program singers in dramatic coachings and participate in mainstage productions, working closely with production stage directors and Vancouver Opera production staff.
