Programme

The popular Jette Parker Artists Jukebox event returns for a special 25th Anniversary edition. The matinee audience gets to know the singers and music staff new to the Programme and witness their Royal Opera performance debuts, before stepping into the role of curator. Listening to excerpts from a range of solo pieces, they will vote live for the songs and arias to be performed in full in the evening concert.

In the evening, the earlier audience’s selections are presented alongside ensemble performances from some of the most popular operatic repertory performed by generations of Jette Parker Artists on the Covent Garden Main Stage. This special concert not only introduces the Artists joining the Programme in the 2026/27 Season but also welcomes back past Jette Parker Artists to their former home.

The Jette Parker Artists Programme seeks to provide opportunities for artists of outstanding potential who want to hone their skills by working alongside and receiving coaching from some of the most prominent figures in ballet music and opera.
