Marking 5 years as Artistic Director of Camerata Bardi International Academy.
What we do here is simple—and serious.

We prepare young opera singers for the professional world. That means more than just teaching notes. It means building:

Confidence
Adaptability
A clear artistic identity
Our program is hands-on. Every artist works on:

Italian diction
Score study and role preparation
Mock auditions and professional presentation
Stylistic interpretation
The business of singing (marketing, media, social presence)
And most importantly, real stage experience in full productions—in NYC and Italy.
This past year was filled with firsts, including a new collaboration with OperaStudio Molise. And every year, I’m reminded of why this work matters: because every artist who puts their trust in us deserves a path toward a sustainable career.

🗓️ Applications for the 2026 season are open until January 15.

Thank you to everyone who has walked this journey with us.

This Christmas, we celebrate our greatest gift: the young artists who trust us with their talent, their growth, and their dreams.
At Camerata Bardi International Academy, guiding these voices—from the rehearsal room to the stage—is at the heart of what we do.

Today, in that same spirit, we share a short moment from Le Nozze di Figaro at Teatro Savoia in Campobasso, featuring soprano Jenna Weidman and baritone Konstantinos Stafylidis, under the baton of conductor Stefano Teani.

✨ From all of us: Buon Natale. Merry Christmas. Here’s to the future of opera.
