Round two. Same stage, same standard, new extraordinary young artists.

Today, Teatro Grattacielo’s Così fan tutte cast takes the stage at La MaMa’s Ellen Stewart Theater — carrying forward everything that made opening night unforgettable. Guided by the artistry of director Cate Pisaroni and conductor Abdiel Vasquez this is exactly what Camerata Bardi International Academy exists for: giving young artists the chance to step into a real production, on a real professional stage, and rise to the moment.

Toi toi toi to our cast and crew — every rehearsal, every note, every hour of preparation led to this. Go show us who you are.

This is how the next generation of opera is built — one stage, one performance, one artist at a time.

Opening night has come and gone — and what a night it was.

Yesterday, our 2026 Così fan tutte cast took the stage at La MaMa’s Ellen Stewart Theater under the direction of Cate Pisaroni and the baton of Abdiel Vasquez, and delivered a premiere our audience won’t forget. Congratulations to every artist who brought this production to life — this is the kind of professional milestone we built this program to make possible.

Tomorrow, our second cast steps into the spotlight to carry the run forward. Toi toi toi — your preparation shows, and this stage is yours.

This is Camerata Bardi International Academy in action: young artists stepping onto a real stage, in a real production, gaining the creative confidence and artistic identity that will define their careers. And this is only the beginning — as the Academy grows, so does the platform we’re building for the next generation of singers.

In an operatic landscape where financial realities often encourage familiar titles and conservative productions, Teatro Grattacielo continues to distinguish itself by embracing artistic risk.

🎶 This is what dedication looks like.

Baritone Bryan McLary .mcclary.baritone and soprano Natasha Scheuble , two proud alumni of Camerata Bardi International Academy, recently took the stage at the Harrison Public Library in Harrison, NY and in Mamaroneck, accompanied by pianist Francisco Miranda — and they were extraordinary.

These concerts are part of Teatro Grattacielo and Camerata Bardi International Academy’s America 250 celebration, honoring the 250th anniversary of our nation. 🇺🇸

This is exactly what Camerata Bardi International Academy is built for: equipping young artists with the confidence, artistry, and readiness to step onto any stage and deliver at the highest level. When young singers are truly dedicated to their art, this is what happens.

We couldn’t be prouder. 🌟
