Program Information: The Little Patuxent Opera Institute is an intensive, yet fun vocal workshop for singers who wish to participate in the exploration, study, and performance of operatic arias, scenes, musical theater repertoire and shorter complete works. The Institute offers training for young operatic voices in a nurturing, warm, collegiate environment and is designed to include lessons, coachings, acting classes, and Master Classes with internationally renowned artists and teachers. Students receive group and private instruction on the various elements of operatic performance and classical vocal arts, including character development, technique, and stage movement and blocking.

Our training program culminates with three performances. Performances includes both participants levels and may include one act operas and scenes to be chosen from the standard literature. All repertoire choices will be decided upon the completion of our auditions.

We will also have at least one Aria and Art Song Recital this summer to take place in mid-July.
