2 weeks after acceptance date
​
FULL TUITION DUE*:
JUNE 1, 2021

​*Please note that we offer payment plans and will work with each artist in assisting them to secure their participation.
ALL ACCEPTED ARTISTS WILL RECEIVE PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS.

TO APPLY:
1. Curriculum Vitae/Resume
3. Photo
4. Links to sound samples (video preferred) of
  • an aria in German (preferably Strauss)
  • an aria in another language​
NOTE: We understand that during the COVID-18 pandemic, making a recording is often not possible. Please email us if you would like to apply but do not have the required repertoire.

We accept artists solely based on potential and capability. We do not ask for age or date of birth in any of our application materials. Artists at different stages of development will be accepted and coachings will be designed individually accordingly. The program is oriented towards larger voices. However, STRAUSS' ELEKTRA is an ensemble piece which allows for casting of younger dramatic, spinto and full lyric voices, introducing them to the process of learning a Strauss role without the strain of a lengthy score for each individual character.

CANCELLATION POLICY
To accept and secure a spot in the program, a tuition deposit, 25% of full tuition before scholarship, is due 2 weeks after acceptance date. If artist withdraws within 2 weeks of tuition deposit payment, full refund is issued. After that date, tuition deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances. The 25% tuition deposit goes into artist full tuition.
​
Full tuition payment is due on June 1, 2021. Full tuition, after a 25% tuition deposit deduction, is refundable in full before July 1, 2021 only in cases of COVID-19 infection and with a certified doctor's note. After July 1, 2021, tuition is non-refundable under any circumstances. 

​Participation in the 2021 program does not automatically transfer to acceptance into the 2022 program. The application process for the 2022 program will begin in late Autumn of 2021.

WAGNER'S RHEINGOLD, AUGUST 11-31 2019

Because the program has no age limit, young dramatic voices get to share the stage with seasoned professionals who are participating in the program because they want to sing a particular role or are changing Fachs. I established solid professional relationships with people who are in the industry, and working in the opera houses in Europe. And what I have received in lessons, coachings, masterclasses and performance opportunities, headshots, recordings has been one of the most cost effective investments I have done.' 
                                                     - Stephanie DePrez, Soprano [Woglinde, Das Rheingold 2019]

'Everything that was promised by the program came through beautifully. The daily coachings were impeccable, the voice teaching was fantastic. I feel like I have arrived at another level. I can add Wagner to my repertoire and I owe this to the Dramatic Voices Program Berlin.' 
                                                                       - Marc Molomot, Tenor [Mime, Das Rheingold 2019]

'My favorite part were the coachings and lessons, which were at a very high level - they were specific and always done from an encouraging point of view. I did a lot of artistic growth in an environment that is supportive and encourages risk-taking.' 
                                                         - Jennifer Carter, Soprano [Wellgunde, Das Rheingold 2019]
