Young Singers’ Competition
Our artistic strength is founded on our commitment to working at least partly with young artists: many singers who have appeared on the Bampton stage have gone on to enjoy successful national and international careers.
The biennial Bampton Classical Opera Young Singers' Competition, aimed at identifying the country's finest emerging young singers, was launched in 2013, our 20th birthday year.

Seohyun's programme included works by Handel, Mozart, Respighu and Marx. Bonaventura Bottone, chair of the judging panel, said: "Our winner, Seohyun Go, has a serene presence and gave a flawless performance vocally, with a seemingly unlimited range and brilliance in coloratura. She illuminated areas of ornamentation that rarely seem possible"
