Summer Training programs for artists and professionals with language study have become a cornerstone of growth for young artists aspiring to a future in the opera industry. SOA’s professional development program provides continuity in training for each artist, individually, while staging operas with orchestra.

SOA Singers, Musicians & Apprentices prepare two fully-staged operas and a public concert series in the context of the Opera Fest Italia summer opera festival. The festival presents traditional operas, challenging the relationship between performer and audience.

Our focus of development is discovering you as a singing actor, giving you comfort and space to grow on stage, while fast-tracking your Italian language skills. We do this in an incredible, unique, intimate and collaborative environment.
