For four weeks this July, sixteen select singers will gather at Tuscany’s prestigious Boccherini Conservatory for advanced training in voice, Italian language, acting, style, and diction.
Our distinguished faculty’s credits include Wolf Trap Opera, San Francisco Opera/Merola, the Cherubini Conservatory, Seattle Opera, Washington National Opera, Nashville Opera, CCM, and Rice University. This proven team will work with you to improve every aspect of your craft.
Each week our students receive:
Masterclasses in recitative, audition techniques and professional development complete our curriculum.
Your training will culminate in three public concerts and an evening of scenes in and around Lucca. Use your weekends to explore the treasures of Tuscany: Florence, Pisa and the beautiful beaches of Viareggio are less than an hour away.
We look forward to your application.
Thank you,
Benjamin Wayne Smith
