About

Calling young singers aged 8–14! Join Ulster Youth Opera at the Ardhowen Theatre on Thursday evenings, 5–6:30pm, and help bring three brand-new operas to life.

Inspired by Seamus Heaney's translations of Robert Henryson's fables, these world premieres are written especially for young voices. Led by professional singers and facilitators, you'll learn the music, stage your own opera and perform with professional musicians at Belfast Children's Festival, Clonard Monastery, on Saturday 6 March 2027. 

All experience levels welcome. Membership is free, with transport to Belfast provided. Places are limited, so book now

Please note there will be no class on Thursday 7th and 14th January 2027.
