Come join us in Europe for an exciting 3-week summer intensive! We're here to offer personalized attention to help you learn, grow, and succeed as a vocalist and performer, whether you're an emerging artist or a seasoned professional.
What's your passion? Opera? Early Music? Musical Theater? Crossover?
Let us help you refine your skills with a course of study designed around your individual needs. We offer a rich variety of instruction including one-on-one vocal training, musical coaching, and dramatic coaching, and classes in German language, audition training, performance master classes, and multiple concert performance opportunities throughout the course.
OVAA is designed with the singer of today in mind who, now more than ever, must be adaptable, well-trained, and thoroughly prepared. The OVAA format is highly flexible to ensure that each attendee gets exactly what he or she needs. Participants are encouraged to tailor their study experience to emphasize their specific areas of interest, by choosing what style(s) to focus on, what repertoire to learn and perform, and even which group classes to attend (though we recommend attending all of them!).
Our faculty members will offer advisement to each student, drawing on their professional experience to ensure that each student's course of study will bring them closer to their goals as a performing artist.
