Clonter Opera’s raison d’être is to provide high quality accessible opera productions, with orchestra, providing a stepping stone for emerging opera singers, bridging the gap between college and the profession, as well as being a place to which recent graduates may return to further develop their craft and repertoire, in a nurturing environment.

Each year Clonter auditions over 250 emerging singers from music colleges around the UK and singers who have recently embarked on professional careers. When appropriate, more established artists are also offered opportunities to develop more demanding roles.

Through the creation of Clonter Farm Music Trust (CFMT) a fine tuned residential, touring and educational programme, that has been developed over nearly 50 years. Most singers who take part in the opera studios are under 30 and all tuition and accommodation is provided free of charge.

Residential facilities and a staff of international experience ensure that singers achieve maximum potential during the opera studios and thereafter. The artistic policy is to select repertoire that is both suitable for young singers and also attractive to the general public. Tailored versions of whole operas allow singers to perform complete roles with orchestra
