Florida Grand Opera’s Studio Artist Program is a rigorous and rewarding opportunity for early-career artists. Recent participants in the program have usually accomplished some or all of the following career milestones:

• Completed a Bachelor or Master’s degree program in Vocal Performance.
• Participated in either pay-to-sing or professional summer festivals.
• Been selected for 1-2 year-long or non-summer residencies or studio programs at the professional level.
• Won or placed as a finalist for various vocal competitions.
• Sang leading operatic roles with collegiate or professional ensembles.

It is also important to note that United States citizens or US permanent residents are under primary consideration for the program. Students in the United States on temporary F-1 visas will generally not be given top consideration due to administrative constraints. Citizenship status will be requested for all applicants in the screening process.
