Young Artists

1. Young Artist Candidates are required to go through a period of 5 coaching sessions. These coachings are with our Artistic Director who will work with you very intensely and change you in many positive ways.

2. After your initial 5 coaching period if mutually acceptible to both you and our Artistic Director you will be admitted to our Young Artist Program which entails another 5 coachings. (Please note - you are to consider these coachings as you would any others that you would seek to have)

3. As a Young Artist you will receive intense guidance and direction as well as be given opportunities to perform within our productions that best suit your talents. Everything will be tailor made to aid your progress and growth.

4. You will be asked to commit to the company for the season, giving, first preference to your activities with Opera OGGI NEW YORK. We also ask that any changes in your schedule be discussed with us first, before commiting to other engagements. Our goals are your growth and evolution as performers. We have a history of being quite reasonable and fair and do not put undue restrictions on singers. However, we do expect that singers demonstrate, in their choices, that they care about the outcome of the performances and their colleagues as well.

5. After the completion of the YA Program certain Young Artists will be invited to become Core Singers. Each additional Core Singer brings us closer to realizing our long term goal of a repertory opera company.
