Description

Since 2011, UVAA has been providing singers the valuable opportunity to build their resumes outside of academia by performing full operatic roles with orchestra, while coaching and training with our excellent musical and acting staff and world class guest artists. The program provides instruction, networking, and experience geared towards career development within the field of opera. Many of our past participants have gone on to have successful careers.

Thanks to a sponsorship by Utah Valley University's Music Department, the 2023 season will be held at the Noorda Center for the Performing Arts, and include two fully-staged operas, a scenes program, and a semi-staged opera. Participants also compete in the Death by Aria concert, attend acting classes, receive weekly coachings, and participate in masterclasses with world-renown artists. Confirmed master class guest artists for 2023 include Deborah Voigt and Frank Lopardo with more to be announced shortly. Past guest artists include Jennifer Larmore, Rachel Willis-Sørensen, Michael Mayes, Frank Lopardo, Stanford Olsen, Peter Randsman, Darrell Babidge, Alan Glassman and others.

Full participant: $3,250* (Includes a role in a main stage opera, participation in master classes and acting classes, weekly private coachings, other performances as scheduled)

Chorus only: $2,000* (Includes choral assignment in main stage operas, weekly private coachings, master classes, acting classes)

*Housing, transportation, and food costs are not included. UVAA has an agreement with a nearby, affordable apartment complex. The cost usually ranges from $450-650 depending on the particular accommodations and utilities desired.

**Each year UVAA strives to provide as many scholarships to our singers as possible. Scholarships are awarded based on merit, and casting needs. This year UVAA is additionally providing Work Study opportunities for students seeking further funding or scholarship. Students interested in Work Study should contact UVAA for more information.
