Cambridge University Opera SocietyCUOS

Cambridge University Opera Society (CUOS) organises and supports a wide range of opera-related activities, including fully staged productions, concerts, masterclasses, workshops, recitals, trips, and educational projects.

For many students, CUOS projects are amongst the most thrilling and rewarding experiences of their time in Cambridge. They bring together interdisciplinary teams and leave lasting memories, both on and off the stage. We stage at least two large-scale projects each year: a Michaelmas Show and a Mainshow (in Lent), which are produced entirely by students. We also champion new works: during Lent, our CUOS Shorts programme offers student composers and librettists the opportunity to stage their work semi-professionally.

CUOS offers a wide range of opportunities for students to engage in opera production, both on stage and behind the scenes. Whether you're a performer, musician, composer, or interested in production work, there's a place for you. To learn more about available roles and how to get involved, keep an eye on our announcements via Facebook, Instagram and ​X, or join the mailing list via our website (cuos.co.uk).

Call for actors!

Want to play a dead man, at his own funeral? Or an irritating commuter, who won't stop yapping on speaker phone in the Quiet Zone of a Cambridge-bound train? If so, you're in luck: we're looking for three non-singing actors to star in CUOS Shorts 2026! The following roles are available: Andrew Levington ('The Second Death'); Commuters 2 and 3 ('Train Talk').
