Opera Holland Park’s relationship with the Young Artists rarely ends after one season and in the 2026 Season, twenty-four alumni of the acclaimed Opera Holland Park Young Artists scheme return as principal artists, members of the chorus, conductors or directors. Often Young Artists are joined by a member of the main cast but this page lists all of our Young Artist alumni since the start of the scheme in 2012.
