Our Opera program encompasses Lyric Diction, Repertoire, Dramatic Coaching, and Movement training. Participants engage in masterclasses and workshops, benefiting from our prime location in one of the nation's most dynamic cultural hubs. Each year, we stage two significant performances: an Opera Scenes showcase in November and a complete Spring Production with orchestral accompaniment in April. Alumni have continued their studies at prestigious institutions across the US and UK, including The San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Cincinnati College Conservatory, UCLA, and The Royal College of Music. Many have been selected for renowned Young Artist Programs like The Merola Program, Music Academy of the West, AIMS, Ravinia, Wolf Trap, and the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann program.
