About Us

The Figaro Opera Society offers a unique training opportunity for young opera singers at the start of their careers.

Founded in 2015, the annual two-week summer course has taken place in some of the most beautiful cities in Italy including Palermo, Taormina, Rome and Venice.

In 2020, the course will be hosted in scenic Padua. Our international academy invites singers from all over the world to immerse themselves in the language and culture of Italy while learning the art of bel canto through master classes given by leading opera singers and vocal coaches. The Italian vocal tradition, if properly learned, gives singers an invaluable and sustainable technique and full access to the great repertoire of opera. Not all students have access to specialists and training particular to this tradition at colleges and conservatories. We are proud of the unique knowledge we provide for our students.
