Musicians making up the orchestra are drawn from the City of Leeds Youth Orchestra, with some professional and semi-professional players. For information on joining the company, contact the Musical Director, Michael Williamson. |

Youth Opera Introduces to young people aged from 12 to 25 the unique experience
of performing in a fully staged opera. Far from being content with the
standard repertoire, LYO has earned a reputation for adventurous production
style and daring choice of repertoire. Productions, which are staged at
the Civic Theatre, have included Britten's 'Peter Grimes', Verdi's 'A
Masked Ball', Puccini's 'Turandot', Philip Glass's 'Satyagraha' and Sondheim's
'Merrily We Roll Along'." source http://www.leodis.org |
