Program

Vincerò Academy’s new program offers prospective students the opportunity to sign up to learn a major role in any of seven featured operas, or to create their own program based on their current artistic pursuits: preparing for auditions, learning a different role from the ones featured in the program, or continuing education.

Each singer will have a program curated specifically for them, taking into account their current areas of opportunity and their goals within the Academy.

Additionally, students will have the opportunity to sign up for a virtual audition tour, where they will be heard and receive valuable feedback from leading international casting agents and managers. In exceptional cases, singers can be accepted to sign up only for the audition tour.

For those students who enroll in the featured operas, a detailed guideline has been created for them that includes the study source material, learning tracks, and group classes.
