Israel

The Jerusalem Lyric Opera Studio is established for the promotion of the art of opera, and the nurturing of young talent in Israel as well as from abroad, through the intensive and individually tailored instruction by a renowned faculty of artists of international acclaim from the Teatro Alla Scala Milano, Opera National de Paris, Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House, Vienna Staatsoper among others. Such complimentary training is paramount for the successful transition of young singers from an academic setting onto the professional opera world. By exposing our exceptionally gifted students to the highest of standards and work practices in the music world we will allow them to realize their full potential by honing their craft and developing as true artists. The program under the direction of Dr. Mazar takes place in the core of Jerusalem, Israel. It includes two fully staged opera productions, an opera gala concert with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, a song recital recorded by the Israeli National Radio, concerts of bel canto repertoire, French music, baroque repertoire, voice lessons, and coaching, as well as master classes with weekly changing guest conductors, professors and coaches, international opera competition attended by leading opera directors, casting directors, agents, and organizers.

Our Aims
Our aim is to encourage mutual cultural dialogue amongst nations, creating innovative opportunities to enhance and promote music and opera as one of the highest forms of art and universal language. To spread musical culture amongst new generations, as well as motivate young artists by offering them the opportunity to further their careers and improve their professional technique. To enable our singers to learn and develop through exposure to a wide range of professional backgrounds, through the comparison of different artistic methods. To offer real professional opportunities for employment in the musical world. To create an international network of musical employment involving further educational opportunities, musical training institutions, theaters, and performances. Our teachers all have experience at the top of the profession; for example, the Chief conductor of JLOS, maestro Paolo Spadaro(Teatro Alla Scala Milano), the renowned stage director David Bobee(Artistic Director of the Rouen Opera Theatre), Prof. Markus Hollop(Casting Director of the Geneva Opera Theatre). Opera productions, the opera gala, the recital (recorded by the Israel National Radio), and concerts are all sold-out performances in front of enthusiastic audiences. The bridge to the career is made possible through Jerusalem International Opera Competition for opera and festival directors, and casting directors. All who join us at JLOS are personally invited and are trusted members of our industry. All singers receive personal feedback, and the list of engagements that result from these auditions is long. We expect that our singers are vocally stable and ready for entry into the profession, be that into an opera studio, as a guest, or as a „fest“ member of an opera ensemble. We are looking for singers who bring along charismatic personalities and are strong, authentic artists. We look forward immensely to hearing you!
