About the Camp + Repertoire


The Fossacasia Opera Camp is established by professional opera singers Emilio Marcucci and Monica Tarone to help aspiring young singers and hobbyists gain performance experience and fulfill their dreams of singing important opera roles live onstage.

Over the course of 15 days, they will take you through all the steps of preparing for an opera performance. Full sets, lighting and costumes will be provided.

Students are expected to learn and memorise their roles on their own. We will have 6 days of music rehearsals and 6 days of staging rehearsals. Three casts of students will perform their operas on each night. Tuition fees are only 500 Euros for the entire course.
