Deadline: Sunday September 7, 2025

The Florentine Opera is driven to produce the full range of operatic works reflecting the highest musical and theatrical standards, and to support community and education programs that foster the current and next generation of opera audiences and practitioners.

The Florentine seeks to provide the best possible opera experience to our patrons, staff, and performers. It is imperative to create a work environment that fosters the recruitment, hiring, development, and retention of diverse talent, both administratively and artistically. Breadth of perspective and participation helps our opera thrive.

The Summer Studio Ensemble program bridges the gap for artists between academia and professional careers. The program is a stepping stone for singers/actors before working with major opera houses. 

The summer residency consists of a soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and baritone/bass. Artists typically have completed or are engaged in their graduate studies, and are looking to expand their artistry and repertoire.  

PLEASE NOTE: If you have already applied for the Baumgartner Studio Artist Program, you do not need to resubmit this application or pay an additional application fee. Please contact artistic@florentineopera.org and let us know that you are also interested in being considered for this opportunity!
