Russian Opera Workshop is a privately operated, independent summer training program for aspiring and professional opera singers. The 2018 young artists arrive from the United States, Canada, China and Sweden.
The program was founded in 2011 by Ghenady Meirson, a long-time faculty member at both the Academy of Vocal Arts and Curtis Institute of Music. Focused on one Russian opera per session, each workshop session offers an intensive one-month long Russian language and vocal training program followed by free public performances.
