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.

The 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 Paula Murrihy, Iurii Samoilov Kihwan Sim who also took part.

Two members of the studio joined Oper Frankfurt's ensemble in 2019/20: Bianca Andrew & Iain MacNeil, and two more join this season: Florina Ilie & Kelsey Lauritano.

Paula Murrihy – who joined the studio when it began - returned last season for the title role in a new production of Gabriel Fauré's Pénélope.

In 2020/21  Karolina Makuła, Danylo Matviienko & Pilgoo Kang will be joined by the Turkish soprano Ekin Su Paker, South African soprano Nombulelo Yende, Maltese mezzo-soprano Marvic Monreal, Columbian tenor Carlos Andrés Cárdenas & German-American bass-baritone Gabriel Rollinson
