The pursuit of a successful career in opera is a challenging—and expensive—undertaking. Singers must continually hone their talent with regular coaching, expand their repertoire by learning new roles, and find opportunities to make themselves heard. BLO recognizes that the next generation of opera stars needs to be nurtured in order to flourish, and that the future of the art form depends on their success.

To that end, BLO has proudly expanded the opportunities we provide to Emerging Artists:

Public auditions allow hundreds of singers to be heard
Role and audition preparation in one-on-one sessions with both BLO’s Music Director, David Angus, and BLO coaches
Understudy key leading roles, serve on stage management staff and directing staff, to broaden their résumés
Perform principal and comprimario roles in BLO productions
Additional paid performance opportunities at BLO events
Stanford Calderwood General Director & Chief Executive Officer, Bradley Vernatter, and other leaders in the field provide career guidance and support
Introduction of Jane & Steven Akin Emerging Artists to key artists’ managers
Jane & Steven Akin Emerging Artists are identified during the casting process of each Season’s repertoire. The Artists have, in most cases, already established themselves professionally and are drawn primarily from the post-graduate and post-young artist fields. In certain exceptional cases, younger candidates who are appropriate for specific repertoire with the Company are considered.
