SINGS: Summer Institute for the Next Generation of Singers

Opera Orlando holds a week-long summer intensive for high school and undergraduate college students looking to learn what it takes to be a professional singer each summer. With instruction and direction from Opera Orlando staff and teaching artists, students receive coachings on solo repertoire, participate in masterclasses with industry professionals, hone their resume-writing skills, and have discussions with artists who are in the field, as well as college professors and students who are currently going through the process of pursuing a degree in music. There is a focus on wellness and movement with yoga classes, vocal health seminars, and vocal anatomy sessions. Students also have the opportunity to take new headshots and perform in a showcase concert that will be recorded.
Early auditions and acceptance runs through May 1st, at which time the cost of the program increases from $295 to $325. To audition, please visit operaorlando.org/sings or email education director Sarah Purser, SPurser@OperaOrlando.org.
