CCM's Opera Department stands as one of the nation's most extensive and esteemed training programs for vocalists, accompanists, and stage directors. The program combines elite vocal instruction and musical guidance with rigorous dramatic training. CCM's opera instructors are both devoted educators and accomplished professionals, actively shaping the field today. Graduates enter the professional world fully prepared for success. Each autumn, top opera companies, young artist programs, and festival scouts conduct auditions at the conservatory, while the department welcomes distinguished guest artists - including performers, directors, coaches, and managers - for intensive master classes and residencies.
As part of the University of Cincinnati, a leading research university with over 40,000 students, CCM benefits from this dynamic academic environment. This unique setting allows the college to cultivate complete artists and scholars prepared for global careers in the arts.
