(*)Partial scholarships granted by The Opera Atelier will cover $775 of the tuition. Families will be responsible for the remaining $1000 tuition. The number of partial scholarships is limited. Scholarships are granted on a first-come, first-served basis, to those who apply and qualify.

​

The registration process and agreement should be completed by May 15, 2024.​

​

Requirements:

​

*The attendance commitment is essential. The commitment to excellent attendance and punctuality is essential since this is an intensive program that concludes with public performances in Miami-Dade venues. Opera is a complex art that demands a significant investment in time and effort from all the participants working together towards a common goal: the success of the final production. Thus, the full schedule of classes, lessons, rehearsals, and coaching sessions requires the participation of all involved.

 
*Children enrolled in the program should not participate in any other Summer Camp or performance program during the program period (June 10 – July 21, 2024).

​

*Participants should be available for all performances, including recitals and production.
