Pianists Program

The International Lyric Academy is celebrating 29 years of success by partnering with Opera Carolina. In 2023, the ILA will offer the opportunity for the Musical Theater Concert Program to participate in the program either in Charlotte, USA or in Vicenza, Italy. They can also take advantage of the special bundled discounts and participate in the program in both countries.

This specialized and unique program is for a small number of talented young accompanists and vocal coaches interested in the Italian and French operatic repertoire. The students will also have opportunities to perform in our many Florilegium, Grand Gala recitals and opera scenes.
