Welcome to the Lyric Opera Studio of Weimar, with the express support of the Deutsches National Theater.

We are a program for opera singers seeking a summer training studio in the heart of Germany. LOSW sets the well prepared singer on the path to establishing a career.

The studio develops singers, through intense German language and diction coaching, masterclasses, individual coaching, and a fully staged opera from the standard repertoire. The singer will be able to develop the necessary tools to audition and work as an artist in the most important sphere of opera theater, the German speaking world.

From audition workshops, to specialists in German resumés, at the end of the program, the singer will be prepared to audition for several German agents, as well as the Opera director of the German National Theater in Weimar and perform a fully staged opera for an audience.

The staff consists of American and German professionals from such renowned institutions as the German National Theater, the Finnish National Opera, Indiana University and the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia.
