The QSVI experience provides each young artist with a strong foundation of essential tools to excel in the competitive world of vocal performance. Led by acclaimed regional and international professionals, this intensive summer program is sure to train, motivate and inspire each young singer!

OPERA DIVISION

Is an 14 day training program for college students and those post-college students looking for an intensive training program to gain further experience in their craft. Singers will be cast in our staged & costumed productions of Puccini’s Suor Angelica & Gianni Schicchi (sung in Italian) & Menotti’s The Medium and The Thief and other assigned operatic scenes from the standard operatic literature.

Singers will also receive Voice lessons, coachings, participate in masterclasses and sing for Management. This small select group of singers will quickly elevate their ability to perform operatically and connect with seasoned professionals while receiving individual and group attention.
