What is VOA and VOF?
VOA:
Vienna Opera Academy is for students who are looking for stage experience and the tools to prepare a role and connect to a network of other singers.
VOF:
Vienna Opera Festival is directed toward professional opera singers who are searching for performance experience to learn an opera role for their CV. Only professional and emerging artist may apply.
The Vienna Opera Academy, which is an important part of the Vienna Opera Festival, is different from most other summer courses. It is not just a musical program, but also a chance to learn about the music industry and help build the tools you need for a career. To get an audition for a good agent has become increasingly difficult. During the Academy you will be singing real auditions for different agencies and receive their feedback and consultation. Through the Academy we hope many of our students will find future performance opportunities in Europe and possibly participate in the Vienna Opera Festival.

SUMMER 2022 - Programs
We created lifetime friendships
Great start of my artistic journey
It was definitely great start of my artistic journey in the inspiring city of Vienna!
It is vital for young singers to possess both competence and confidence. I am thankful I had the opportunity to develop my skills in international warm environment created by the artistic director Jesus Leon and perform whole role under the baton of conductors Toby Purser and Alessandro Pagliazzi in such impressive historical venues like Musikverein and Palais Eschenbach. I enjoyed it and look forward to participate again in the future!
An experience performing some Mozart in Mozart’s House
I really enjoyed working on the role of Donna Anna with The Vienna Opera Academy in August 2020. I learnt a lot from all the wonderful Coachings and Masterclasses, the Recitative classes were excellent! It was a humbling experience performing some Mozart in Mozart’s House. A really cherished and worthwhile experience, thank you!
Perform under amazing musical directors
Vienna is such a beautiful place to make music, I’m always looking forward to being there again.
It was an unforgettable experience for me.
These three weeks were one of the best time in my life. All our coaches and conductors have completely dedicated themselves for their job. After just less than a month I felt far more comfortable with my vocal technique and musical expression. I also found new friends with whom I spent a lot of time in the heart of Vienna after the rehearsals. It was an unforgettable experience for me.
The most beautiful things happen when you less expect.
Unforgettable memories in Wien
An experience that I would certainly repeat!
