Soloists Program

Soloists Program Italy

The International Lyric Academy is celebrating 30 years of success by partnering again with Opera Carolina. In 2024, the ILA will offer two intensive programs, one in Italy, Vicenza and one in Charlotte, NC.

Students will be offered a unique life experience and the possibility to perform in both countries, including special bundled discounts and scholarships.

This is a wonderful program for young and emerging artists. Singers work with Maestros to prepare their Music and they participate in weekly vocal lesson, Italian language class as well as have multiple opportunities to participate in master classes. Solo performance opportunities are also available at the weekly Florilegium or Grand Gala Concerts in addition to your solo program.
