Program Structure
Camerata Bardi International Academy's initiatives create a space where young artists can get a fully integrated experience of what it means to be on a professional stage in a fast-moving environment that can be intimidating to a young singer. This boutique program was designed for young singers who have completed their studies and are looking for opportunities to step into their professional lives.
The program is separated into two different stages:
Stage One - Lyric Laboratory
The program of Camerata Bardi International Academy is built around the study of operas, each with their own curriculum and faculty. Our International Faculty consists of elite industry professionals and world-renowned opera singers, to educate, discover, and promote young singers. Our selected participants will be working on all aspects of rules of operatic diction, dramatic interpretation, as well as style and repertoire. Additionally, our Industry Development Seminars will focus on valuable career insights such as self-marketing, selecting the right social media practices, networking, branding, self-filming,financial planning (yes! it is important!) and overall professional presentation in the new, digitally driven, fast paced world.

Based upon the play of the same name by Eugene O’Neill
Beyond the Horizon is Nicolas Flagello's last opera written in a "Neo-Romantic" style, known as "Neo-Verismo". The opera was based on a play by Nobel laureate Eugene O’Neill (1888-1953), generally considered to be America’s greatest playwright. Beyond the Horizon was O’Neill’s first published play. Completed and produced in 1920, it was awarded the first of O’Neill’s three Pulitzer Prizes.The play concerns two brothers: one, a practical man of the soil, devoted to maintaining the family farm; the other, poetic and something of a dreamer who longs to escape from the farm and explore the world. But their love for the same young woman leads them to betray their destinies, ultimately resulting in their tragic downfall.

The Lyric Laboratory -Online
Sunday, March 17th - Saturday March 30th.
ELISIR D'AMORE & BEYOND THE HORRIZON
Our focus is developing you as a singing actor, giving you comfort and space to grow on stage, while fast-tracking your language, stage and marketing skills.
During the period of online training, each participant will be working with a mentor (3 hours), a marketing consultant (4 hours), an opera agent (4 hours), a social media expert (3 hours), an Italian or English diction coach (10 hours), a maker (3 hours), a financial advisor (2 hours). For the whole duration of the course lessons will be one-on-one or in masterclass format, online. In-person classes will be scheduled towards the end of the Laboratory, conditions-permitting.
This program does not focus on developing vocal technique from the ground-up. We accept Young Artists who, we feel, already have a strong vocal foundation and are in need of some fine-tuning.
The culmination of this program will be fully staged performances and in-person masterclasses of ELISIR D'AMORE and BEYOND THE HORIZON listed on our 2024-25 Season.
We are forming 6 complete casts and a cover cast for several European and US Festivals and locations (more to be announced soon) for Elisir d'amore and one full cast for Beyond the Horizon.
The Artistic Direction of Camerata Bardi Vocal Academy and Teatro Grattacielo reserves the right to decide first and second cast assignments.
Admissions
The Program is open to young, upcoming opera singers who are interested in deepening their knowledge of the specific opera roles offered in our 2024-25 Season, and who are ready to perform these roles on stage. Our mission is to pay particular attention to each and every participant and to ensure that by the end of this program, not only have they had an important debut, but are also ready to be a part of the professional, fast-paced world of opera.
