WNO Opera Institute

We are seeking future change-makers in the field of opera. Our program uses improvisation and critical inquiry to build skills in vocal and theatrical performance, Citizen Artistry, and the agency needed for singers to direct their own career paths and effectively express their own ideas.

The 2025 program is open to high school singers from around the country (and beyond!) who are eager to examine their own potential as artists, creators, collaborators, and changemakers alongside their fellow students and our incredible faculty. The program will be held at the REACH at the Kennedy Center.
