TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
'The audition with Stephan Reineke was amazing. I realized that it is not that scary [singing for an agent] as I thought it would be. I found out important information about the [German Theatre] system and how to audition in order to get hired.'
Anna Ildikó Kiss, Mezzo-Soprano (Hungary/Romania)
'The Italian Operas Program: Bel Canto & Verismo was very intense but I loved the fact that the program was long enough to learn and also stabilise the changes made with the help of instructors. I really enjoyed the time where we had two sessions a day with both instructors. That was very intense but, oh, so helpful!'
