Our mission is to present a select number of highly talented young singers from all over the world with the performing conditions resembling those of a professional opera singer, while providing them with excellent teaching and guidance.

Opera is a modern art originating in many languages. It is essential that young singers are trained to portray their characters in these languages, communicating relevance to today’s audiences.

The historical environment of Fidenza and surrounding cities serves as an ideal cultural atmosphere to accomplish our goals.
