Classic Lyric Arts (CLA) is committed to mentoring the emerging generation of classical singers through the prism of language, culture, and history. Our goal is to identify young artists of exceptional talent and passion, and to offer them unique, on-site training with masters in the field of French and Italian opera.
The CLA programs in France, Italy, and the United States give young artists a full immersion and a multi-faceted approach to the techniques and traditions of operatic singing.
