Other ways to get involved:
- ETO’s Education Outreach Programme has several opportunities for support, and is a great way to help us introduce future generations to the world of opera.

Leaving a legacy to English Touring Opera is a truly lasting gift, and a wonderful way of ensuring the future of the company.

Singers Bursary
Support an Emerging Singer
English Touring Opera is committed to the further development and nurturing of emerging talent. Every tour offers unique opportunities for younger singers to work with and learn from established artists.
The recipient will receive voice lessons, mentoring and a free demo recording.
If you are passionate about supporting artists, this is the ideal opportunity to make a real difference for a singer in the early stages of their career.
English Touring Opera would like to thank Chris Ball as the founding donor of the ETO Singers Bursary.
