The concert of fellows and members of the Opera Studio of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb will take place again this year, on Sunday, 14 June 2026 at 11 am in the foyer.
The Opera Studio is a scholarship programme launched by the Zagreb Opera to support the professional development of young opera artists. Participants include voice students from the Academy of Music who have successfully passed the scholarship audition. The programme enables students to take part in opera productions and to refine their skills through direct collaboration with Croatian and guest artists, as well as with the production team of the CNT Opera in Zagreb, with whom they work closely throughout the programme.
The programme also includes a masterclass, and upon its completion, young opera singers – Opera Studio fellows – perform a wide range of operatic arias and duets with piano accompaniment.
Admission is free.
