Opera Start

We cannot lie to ourselves about the desperate situation of Hungarian singing education, as it is facing the same problem as Hungarian ballet training: the lack of new talented students. The degradation of music school education and the decreasing number of pupils create a vicious downward vortex that can only be eliminated with a definite, effective and lasting programme. As the OPERA is in constant need of both soloists and chorus members in the upcoming years and decades, the theatre is launching an excellence programme for singing teachers. It aims to provide financial and professional support to 20 singing teachers working across the country with pupils who deserve special attention, who deserve to be visited and observed in lessons or exams, to be offered scholarships or even a position later on, or to be referred to our partner institution, the Franz Liszt Academy of Music.

Please note that the Opera Start are only available in Hungarian.
