Madison Opera Apprentice Program

High School Apprentice Program

Madison Opera’s High School Apprentice Program offers high school juniors and seniors the unique opportunity to explore the world of professional opera. With behind-the-scenes access to rehearsals and performances, one-on-one interaction with professional artists and industry experts, and guidance on training, the apprentices receive a thorough introduction to the production process and careers in the performing arts. Many former apprentices have gone on to sing in the Madison Opera Chorus.

Apprentices will have the opportunity to:

• meet and dine with guest artists

• attend rehearsals, performances, and previews

• participate in master classes and workshops

• have a great time while learning about what it takes to bring an opera to life!

The program is free to students and generously underwritten by Madison Opera’s supporters. Apprentices must be able to commute to events in downtown Madison.

Applications for the 24/25 Season are now closed.
