Ensemble, Guests, Opera Studio & Teams

 Opera Studio 

Oper Frankfurt’s aim when the Opera Studio opened in 2008/09 was to help young singers embarking on a career by actively supporting them, providing professional teachers to help them hone their skills and, possibly, building a long term relationship with some of these highly qualified young artists.

A splendid concert in 2018 to celebrate the Opera Studio's first 10 years was living proof that our work has paid off, especially when one looks at the international careers enjoyed by Alumnis including Iurii Samoilov, Kihwan Sim and Paula Murrihy - who joined the studio when it began and also returned for the title role in a new production of Fauré's Pénélope. Francisco Brito returns in 2021/22 to sing Giannetto in La gazza ladra.

Members of the Studio enjoy taking part in masterclasses run by legendary regulars including Brigitte Fassbaender, Hedwig Fassbender, Edith Wiens, Neil Shicoff and the accompanist Helmut Deutsch.
