Spotlight on Opera is an exciting, two-tiered opera training and performance program offering a fall-winter season as well as an intensive three-week summer program. We are proud to announce our inaugural season as the official opera ensemble of St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas.
Spotlight's fall-winter season is open to community members as well as students. Summer Spotlight offers an intensive program of private voice lessons, master classes, and performance opportunities including concerts, opera excerpt programs, and a full one-act opera. Admittance to each program is by audition.
Spotlight welcomes career track and avocational singers aged 18-70 (and up). Our caring faculty of professional opera singers, pianists, and educators works with each singer to provide guidance and growth as an artist.
We have just completed an enormously successful third summer season, including three different opera scenes programs; the Song Cafe, our unique staged art song program; and a production of Gianni Schicchi.

"I think one of the most valuable parts of the experience is getting to work with the professional-track singers ... I think we hobbyists held our own in performance in this program."
