Enrollment is open for the “Advanced course for opera singers” of the Fondazione Teatro Comunale, Modena. The course takes place at the Teatro Comunale in Modena.

Every year on October 12 – Luciano Pavarotti’s birthday – the best students together with those of Raina Kabaivanska take part in a symphonic opera concert.
Students who graduated from the last editions of the course have participated, among numerous other initiatives, in the European project CrossOpera (2022) – with performances in Modena, Linz and Novi Sad – in the productions of Mefistofele (2022), Madama Butterfly (2022), Cinderella (2021 ); in the European Musica Trails project – with concerts in Lispia and Lyon (2022); in concerts organized at the Italian Cultural Institute in Copenhagen, Madrid, and at the Opéra Grand Avignon (2022).
