Alumni Testimonial:
"My summers at Brevard as a member of the Janiec Opera Company were truly a transformative experience. I learned so many valuable lessons about the opera world and craft; from how to hold my body when I sing onstage to how to interact with the maestro in a rehearsal room. The staff there is incredible, and Dean Anthony helped me learn how to honor the beautiful music we sing and stories we tell through clarity, intention, and imagination.

"Throughout my career since Brevard, in rehearsal rooms and stages of opera houses around the country like The Santa Fe Opera and The Metropolitan Opera, those lessons I learned from Brevard are always with me and serving me.”
