Highlands Opera Studio

Read Profile

Set in the beautiful surroundings of the Haliburton Highlands in Central Ontario, Highlands Opera Studio provides advanced operatic experience to a select group of talented emerging professionals with the main objective to provide these singers with the necessary skills to embark on a career in opera. Established opera professionals (international artist agents, vocal coaches, general directors of professional opera companies, etc.) are invited to interact with and advise our participants during the intensive season, resulting in new connections, many leading to employment and/or artist representation (national and international). Core activities also include 17 to 19 live public events/performances: multiple performances of 2-3 fully staged operas, 3-4 public masterclasses, 5-6 concerts, and free community events.
