YOUNG ARTIST PROGRAM

Chicago Opera Theater Young Artist Program
The Chicago Opera Theater Young Artists
Program is a performance-based training program for young singers. The participants
have the opportunity to work with the innovative artistic teams which are the hallmark
of Chicago Opera Theater under General Director Andreas Mitisek. The intention is to
provide an artistic benchmark for young artists as they commence their careers, recognizing
performance experience in fresh stagings of both standard and new repertoire as an
essential training element.
