Are you a teen who loves to sing and perform? Are you planning to pursue a college degree in vocal performance?
The Teen Vocal Studio is a unique training program for young Pacific Northwest Singers created to help you enhance your skills as a performer as well as your résumé. As a member of the Teen Vocal Studio, you’ll join one of North America’s leading opera companies to learn first-hand about pursuing a career as a singer. Seattle Opera will complement your own private lessons with your teacher, helping you build many other necessary performance skills with workshops in musicianship, drama, auditions, and lyric diction (IPA). In addition, you will gain recital and performance experience—including a performance in a production of a complete opera as part of the Youth Opera Project. Studio members receive special access to company rehearsals and masterclasses with Seattle Opera’s renowned artists.
Schedule
Teen Vocal Studio commitments will primarily take place on Thursday evenings beginning at 4:30 PM and Saturdays beginning at 10 AM. A detailed schedule will be available closer to the beginning of the program.
Teen Vocal Studio is a college preparatory program. All singers accepted into the program will receive a full scholarship.
