YOUNG ARTIST PROGRAM

Re-Envisioning Opera for the 21st Century with an Artist focused approach.

Breaking Barriers

Young Artists are the future of our art form and deserve a supportive, holistic, and happy place to grow. Our hybrid program focuses on delivering professional development, 12-months of financial support, and the work-life balance that allows you to be the best artist you can be.

 

We’ve designed our program to reflect the changes we want and need to see in our sector. Artists who participate will experience the rich culture of the East Coast combined with support in every aspect of growth and learning for the whole of their residency.

Get The Goods

Our comprehensive twelve (12) month hybrid program is tailored to the needs of the 21st century operatic artist. Highlights include:
