Program Information
The goal of the Freiburg Opera Studio is to prepare advanced vocal students specifically for an opera career. It will provide the singers with their first experience of working as part of a professional opera ensemble or opera company; in parallel, in their studies at Freiburg University of Music, the individual needs of the different students will be addressed and the curriculum will be treated flexibly to respond to their personal strengths and weaknesses.
From the beginning of the winter semester, the students study at Freiburg University of Music and at the same time they are members of the singing ensemble of the Freiburg Theater. From this point on, the students will also receive a monthly grant of 900 euros from the TheaterFreunde Freiburg.
At the theater, the young singers rehearse specialized roles and have the opportunity to perform in productions. At the same time, they receive extensive coaching and advice from the theater’s artistic management.
The Freiburg Opera Studio constitutes an exclusive focus within the course Konzertexamen/Meisterklasse at Freiburg University of Music, and is designed for outstanding vocal students holding a master’s degree. In exceptional cases, students with a bachelor’s degree can be admitted if they show promise of exceptional artistic development.
A type B1 GER certificate is mandatory for foreign-language applicants.
