Testimonials
“Truly extraordinary … remarkable ...very well performed”

The Opera Academy was truly extraordinary. For the program to present three fully staged operas with orchestra, and a masterworks concert in only four weeks is remarkable. The productions were all very well performed, costumed, directed, sung, conducted, and the sets were great.

“I gained experience”

I got to sing two full operatic roles at an opera house with their full-time orchestra, chorus, director, conductor, props, costumes, sets, make-up artists and wonderful teachers/coaches. I gained experience as if I had a fest contract in an opera house!

Evan Dunn

opera singer (Bass)
“Second to none”

The amount of podium time afforded to each Conducting Fellow and Associate is second to none, and the benefits were immediate. Not only was my technique refined under the excellent tutelage of Larry Wyatt and Dian Tchobanov, but remarkable professional opportunities emerged upon my return home.
