Accademia 1749 offers an exceptional and unique opportunity: to study and work in Italy while learning from top-tier international professionals. For the 2026 edition, this elite training programme will welcome 32 young international talents, divided into three academic groups.
The future of opera in the heart of tradition
Accademia 1749 was founded with a clear mission: to support young artists during the delicate transition from academic studies to the professional stage. We firmly believe that becoming an opera singer requires not only vocal talent, but also a profound understanding of what an international career entails.
A bridge between cultures and generations
Our project brings the most promising talents from abroad to Italy, offering them the unique opportunity to study in the country where opera was born. At the heart of our philosophy is the concept of mentorship: we create an environment where singers at different stages of their development can interact and share experiences, fostering an intergenerational exchange that is essential for understanding the necessary steps for oneโs artistic progression.
Educational excellence with world-renowned tutors
Training within the Academy is entrusted to professionals who regularly grace the worldโs most prestigious stages. Students have the privilege of working with masters of the calibre of:
ย
Maurizio Muraro
An internationally renowned bass, a leading figure in the temples of opera such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York and Teatro alla Scala.
Alessandra Fasolo
A language coach for the United Kingdomโs most prestigious institutions, including the Royal Opera House โ Covent Garden in London.
From the Prosecco hills to the magic of Venice
The training journey unfolds between the inspiring tranquility of Vittorio Veneto, birthplace of Lorenzo Da Ponte, and the timeless enchantment of Venice. In addition to intensive on-site sessions, the Academy enriches its programme with exclusive Masterclasses in Venice, allowing students to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and history of Italian culture.
More than a school
We take care of the artist as a whole. Through constant support and a dedicated focus on individual growth, Accademia 1749 does not merely teach technique; it prepares singers to live and breathe opera as mindful professionals, ready for the challenges of the worldโs major opera houses.
