The gap between school and a flourishing career is wide, and few singers can bridge it without the kind of assistance that dell’Arte provides.

dell’Arte Opera Ensemble’s mission is to nurture emerging opera artists through rehearsal and performance opportunities and to reach audiences by offering them opera experiences at little-or no-cost. 

dell’Arte is committed to the essential building blocks of opera: great singing, great music, and great drama.  Singers working with dell’Arte range from those who have just exited school to those pursuing regional careers and even covering major roles at the Metropolitan Opera.  They enjoy first-rate coaching, enthusiastic and talented colleagues, and collaboration with professional instrumentalists, culminating in a highly useful experience.  Audiences enjoy the fresh excitement of experiencing role debuts and witnessing important landmarks in each singer’s artistic process.
