Pianist Program in USA

​

The International Lyric Academy is celebrating 32 years of success by partnering again with Opera Carolina. In 2026, the ILA will offer the opportunity for the Pianists Program to participate in the program either in Charlotte, USA or in Vicenza, Italy. They can also take advantage of the special bundled discounts and participate in the program in both countries.

This specialized and unique program is for a small number of talented young accompanists and vocal coaches interested in the Italian and German operatic repertoire. The students will also have opportunities to perform in our many Florilegium, Grand Gala recitals and opera scenes.
