About the Metropolitan Opera program
Throughout their instruction in the program, the selected young artists draw upon the vast pool of world-renowned talent available at the Met, including current and former Met artists, internationally recognized coaches, and master teachers. The program participants have access to daily rehearsals and practice sessions where they can observe opera’s great singers preparing their roles for the current Met repertory. They are also presented with the opportunity to participate in Met productions, as many singers perform supporting roles, and pianists serve as assistant conductors.
