The International Lyric Academy is the only training program in Italy that offers exclusive agent auditions to participants in the Full Opera and Italian Opera Programs. Throughout the period there will be several opportunities to sing exclusively for Italian agents representing such houses as San Carlo in Naples, Teatro dell’opera in Rome, Arena di Verona and La Scala. This service is free and available only to our best singers.
The Opera productions are a wonderful opportunity for artists. Singers work with the maestros preparing the roles in the 2024 production of two performances of THE MAGIC FLUTE by W. A. Mozart (full Opera production). In addition to the full performances, stagings, rehearsals, costuming, and production craft are all part of the ILA experience.
