A summary of The Day Dawns, a youth opera devised by the Royal Opera House Youth Opera Company, with director Freya Wynn Jones, composer Tom Floyd and pianist Ashley Beauchamp, premiered at the Bridewell Theatre, 2018. The ROH Youth Company had just 6 days to devise, stage and perform this piece, and the ambition displayed throughout the process is a testament to the talent and passion of all the children. The Royal Opera House’s Youth Opera Company is a 50-strong group of diverse, talented children aged nine to 13 years old. Members come from across Greater London and from a wide variety of backgrounds. What they have in common is real potential as singers and actors; potential that they discover and develop through being part of the Company. They meet on average once a fortnight, at the Royal Opera House, for a full day of workshops and rehearsals. The YOC was established in 2010, following an extensive series of workshops involving over 400 children; they had discovered a passion for singing through school projects run by the Royal Opera House and other organizations with a commitment to learning and participation. The aim was – and remains – to keep our recruitment base as broad as possible and to give opportunities to everyone, irrespective of whether they have previous experience of opera or not.
