We want to build our fundraising to help strengthen our financial base and develop Hurn Court Opera's future as an organisation focused on providing performance opportunities for up-and-coming professional opera singers

What difference will you make?

Your work as a fundraiser will support the development of young opera singers as they embark on their professional careers. Your success will also help build audiences for opera in areas where there is limited or no exposure to professional opera performance, by enabling HCO to offer tickets at affordable prices.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
