SUMMER FESTIVAL 2024

The Manhattan Opera Studio is holding auditions for the 2024 Summer Festival.

The MOS Summer Festival is the first Summer Program of its kind in Manhattan. We believe that besides the vocal training and education opera singers receive through vocal instructors and academic education, practice and exposure to active professionals are necessary components of their development.

We are proud and very excited to see many of our past participants singing in prestigious opera houses (Metropolitan Opera House and Teatro Alla Scala, among many others) and winning some of the most important vocal competitions.

The Summer Festival is an intensive training and performance preparation program in which all the selected singers will have the opportunity to perform a fully staged opera with an orchestra. In addition, all singers will participate in an aria and opera scenes concert in the prestigious Bruno Walter Hall at Lincoln Center. There will be masterclasses with some of the most renowned opera agents of New York City, feedback auditions with conductors of the Metropolitan Opera House, and coachings in music and diction.
