Rising Stars
In 2019, we created Opera Idaho’s Rising Stars program. It is a tuition-based, weekly program designed as an opera training and college preparatory program for young singers in their Junior and Senior years in high school.
While in the program, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn to prepare for college auditions
- Perform opera scenes
- Meet and speak with opera professionals
- Learn stage movement
- Learn what happens backstage at the opera
- Receive solo coaching
Tuition: $320 per year (about $10 per session). Need-based scholarships available!
