Yo! Opera’s goal is to introduce young people to opera. We organize an international youth opera festival every two years in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Additionally, we undertake new projects and create new operas together with youngsters and opera makers. Yo! Opera looks for new forms of opera that clearly contribute to today’s world. Operas in which you can make yourself heard, operas that will stimulate and enlighten.

Yo! Opera was founded in 2001. These pages contain more information about our projects and recent festivals. Our mission is threefold:

- education
- talent development
- repertoire development
