The International Meistersinger Akademie (IMA) offers emerging artists an exceptional environment of excellence in the study of opera and concert repertoire. Our prestigious staff and guest professors bring their expertise to the vocal and interpretive development of the young professional.
Central to IMA are the auditions held with approximately 40 agents, promoters, opera directors, casting directors, and festival managers from Europe and the USA. Individual feedback is given to each young artist, thus providing the networking and professional contacts important to the profession.
