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.
And two further members of the studio join Oper Frankfurt's ensemble in 2019/20: Bianca Andrew and Iain MacNeil.
Paula Murrihy – who joined the studio in 2008/09, when it began - returns in 2019/20 to sing the title role in a new production of Gabriel Fauré's Pénélope and Danae Kontora is back to sing Francesca in the world premiere of Lucia Ronchetti's Inferno, which was commissioned by Oper and Schauspiel Frankfurt.
In 2019/20 Florina Ilie, Julia Moorman, Kelsey Lauritano, and Michael Petruccelli will be joined by the Polish mezzo-soprano Karolina Makuła, Chinese tenor Tianji Lin, Ukrainian baritone Danylo Matviienko and Koreyn bass Pilgoo Kang.
