Curriculum

The primary strength of the DNOA lies in a wide-ranging curriculum that encompasses all aspects in the training of an aspiring opera artist. In addition to the focus on developing and refining technical skills (vocal, dramatic and physical), students are encouraged and supported in developing a very clear sense of vocal and artistic identity, who they are both as a singer and as an artist, and how these attributes can best be united to meet market demands and expectations. All elements of the programme are tailored so as to enable young artists to enhance chances of success in a competitive field as they transition from full-time education to the workplace.
