GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Our international summer programs offer a wide range of intensive studies in vocal technique, style and interpretation, languages and diction, movement and acting, role preparation and career development.
Performance Opportunities
IVAI performance opportunities encompass fully staged operatic productions,
opera scenes, concerts with orchestra and public master classes, given
