Amy Stebbins: A Visionary Joining the Guildhall School’s Immersive Opera Team

May 29, 2025

Arbour Artists is happy to announce Stage Director & Librettist Amy Stebbins’s recent appointment to the Immersive Opera research team at London’s prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

 

Under the leadership of composer Toby Young, this innovative project—funded by the UKRI—focuses on exploring and developing groundbreaking formats for opera and immersive, opera-adjacent experiences. Over the coming years, Amy and the team will create artistic prototypes, new operatic works, insightful publications, and an expansive international network of immersive opera creators and producers.

 

Amy’s extensive experience and inventive vision as both director and librettist will be a significant asset to the Guildhall project, and we’re excited to see how her contributions will shape the future of operatic storytelling.

 

We warmly congratulate Amy on this new chapter and look forward to supporting her continued creative growth in opera houses worldwide.
