Summer Opera brings together emerging and early-career singers, conductors, and stage directors for an intensive training exploration of contemporary opera. Working with an international faculty of leading artists, participants engage in rehearsals, coachings, masterclasses, role study, and collaborative creation. The program emphasizes musical and dramatic excellence, artistic experimentation, and the development of flexible, responsive opera artists.
Through hands-on experience with new and contemporary repertoire, participants expand their creative practice, collaborate across disciplines, contributing to performances, informal sharings, and other public events.
The 2027 program will feature new operas by Niloufar Nourbakhsh and Cecilia Livingston, alongside selected scenes from the classical opera repertoire.
