Summer Opera Training for Youth

Two Bay Area opera companies have what look like great programs for youth.

• San Francisco Opera: Summer Conservatory. For youth ages 10-18, all levels (I presume that means beginner to advanced.) July 7-25; M-F 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. $1,600; scholarships available for qualifying students.
• Opera San José: The Singers' Academy. For "high school students ages 14 – 18 looking to refine their vocal technique and stage presence." July 21-26. $1,250; payment plans available on request; ask if you need financial help to attend.
