INTRODUCING LYO'S NEWEST ADVENTURE...
Leeds Youth Opera is relaunching and regrouping and we are so excited to be producing a brand new musical in July 2023 based on the life and adventures of explorer Ernest Shackleton!

We are welcoming all new performers, particularly in the 10-19 years bracket, although older singers are very welcome too.
Shackleton the Musical was premiered at the Brighton Fringe and the Watford Festival to critical acclaim and in front of Ernest Shackleton’s granddaughter, who loved it. The writers are so very proud that LYO will be performing the first production of the musical in the North!

“Stranded on the ice in the middle of the Southern Ocean for over a year with no way to get a message home, Shackleton and his crew set out on their epic tale of survival against the odds. After the sinking of their ship, the Endurance, their mission becomes to find a way home before they succumb to the fate of many Antarctic explorers before them.

With supplies running low, and the ice melting around them, they have nothing but three small boats, their good spirits and Shackleton to turn their fate around. This extraordinary journey uses the power of theatre to bring you into the lives, loves and spirit of these men as they endure the ultimate test of the human spirit.”

We’re looking forward to starting the season on January 7th, 2.30 to 5pm at Interplay Theatre Armley. We cannot wait to welcome new and existing members to this wonderful community which has produced fantastic productions in Leeds for over 50 years.
