Since 2004, the Georg Solti Accademia has given hundreds of singers a unique insight into Italian opera style, and over 50 young repetiteurs an immersion in their art. We want the next generation of talented singers and pianists to have this opportunity too, regardless of their nationality, background or ability to pay.
Philanthropic giving is an investment in the world around us. Here at the Accademia, your charitable giving is invested directly into the education of some of the most promising young opera singers and repetiteurs in the world. Your gift helps these young musicians to gain the training, experience, and network they need to build their careers, thereby ensuring that outstanding musicians continue to bring their talent and creativity to opera.
Each scholarship at the Accademia costs 10,000 Euros for a singer and 5,000 Euros for a repetiteur.

BEIJING COURSE
The Solti Accademia, in partnership with the National Center for the Performing Arts and the Central Academy for Drama in Beijing, China, now offers an annual course in Beijing for Chinese-national opera singers, which is generously supported by Rolex. This special opportunity allows the Accademia to bring its approach to musical coaching and instruction on the Italian bel canto repertoire to young opera singers in China.
