Houston Grand Opera -YAVA

HGO’s Young Artist Vocal Academy was established in 2011 for singers at the undergraduate level. We take the most talented young singers and help them reach artistry through a breadth of information and excellent training. Singers will leave the week with an understanding of their strengths and how to improve their skills, along with contacts at HGO to carry them through their career.

The week-long course is held on-site at HGO, and all fees, room, and board are covered by the company. In addition to a variety of group classes in subjects such as characterization, how to prepare a score, and diction and movement, participants will receive individual training in the form of daily voice lessons with HGO's Director of Vocal Instruction, Stephen King, daily coachings with members of HGO's music staff, and dramatic coachings.

YAVA Week 1 is May 12-17, and YAVA Week 2 is May 19-24.
