Our Bel Canto Young Artists mentoring program operates behind the scenes training for emerging opera talent. For over six weeks during the summer, young singers will receive individual coaching as well as participate in daily group classes on topics ranging from basic aspects of vocal technique and stage movement to the specialized study of ornamentation and cadenzas. They will also understudy the principal roles in our operas, participating in full-scale “cover rehearsals” while learning a complete part.
