Leeds Youth Opera offers young people in Leeds a unique opportunity to work with industry professionals on fully staged productions whilst learning about all forms of musical theatre in a nurturing environment.

Founded in 1971, LYO has been delighting audiences for over 40 years. The society performs two works per academic year, in February and July, with past shows ranging from Mozart classics and UK premières of works by Phillip Glass through to the more musical theatre style works of Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein.

LYO also perform in several concerts and special events throughout the year.
