WNO Opera Institute 2026

Vocal Training: Voice lessons, coachings, and master classes

Improvisation: Theatrical, musical, and movement

Theatrical Training: Instruction in fundamental aspects of acting and theater

Repertoire: The opportunity to explore varied and diverse repertoire appropriate for teenaged voices. Students may be assigned music anywhere from the Baroque to the modern period, up to and including work by living composers.

Citizen Artistry: Exploring the connections between one’s art, values, and communities College and Career Skills: Practical information sessions on auditions, college applications, and navigating the professional world

Student-Driven Performances: Our students understand that they must create the change—and the art—they want to see in the world. With an understanding that successful 21st-Century artists use a broad toolbox of skills as collaborators, contributors, and producers of their own creative projects, students will co-create unique performances with guidance from

Institute faculty. Final performances will highlight both opera scenes and student-created operas that incorporate English-language art songs.
