Die Zauberflöte - Bach-Millennium Music Summer Opera Program 2026

What Our Alumni Say

The whole premise of the program is invaluable. I have sung with orchestra before, but not my arias, which is very different. The voice lessons improved my singing drastically, and coaching improved my confidence and musicality. This is a short and concentrated program, and you get a lot out of it.

— Julia Mulholland

Soprano, 2024 Season

This program gave me a unique opportunity to sing with an orchestra, which is rare for a young singer. It also helped me with confidence and learning how to be present on stage.

— Frank Watnick

Tenor, 2025 Season

As an actor and singer, I really got to dig into the character and figure out my own interpretation. The faculty and staff were incredibly supportive and created a wonderful environment.

— Gabriela Martinez

Soprano, 2025 Season
