Description

Opera in the Ozarks (OIO) at Inspiration Point Center for the Arts (IPCA) is an intensive eight-week summer training and performance program for aspiring vocalists, selected from competitive national auditions. Opera in the Ozarks has a venerable, continuous history of training young artists since 1950. The new, state-of-the-art Inspiration Point Center for the Arts Theater opened in May 2025.

No other training institute for young people offers the scope and depth of this total immersion into the process of preparing and performing opera.

Alumni of this program now sing in the major opera houses of the world; many others teach at prestigious colleges and universities. Artists are trained, conducted, coached and encouraged by a supportive, professional staff. Included is all training, coaching, workshops, and nurturing required to present opera in full productions—scenery, lights, costumes, wigs—accompanied by a professional orchestra.
