The Mascarade Opera Foundation is an independent non-profit organisation which founded the Mascarade Opera Studio, a 10-month opera training and performance programme that welcomes exceptionally talented young artists from all over the world, offering fully-funded places to eight singers and two répétiteurs each year. The programme is rooted in scientific research into performance psychology and, through artistic and professional coaching techniques of the highest standard, provides these artists with vital tools for their long-term careers. From September 2022, the programme will expand to become Mascarade Emerging Artists in collaboration with the Teatro La Fenice Foundation. Places on the new two-year programme will be fully-funded with artists receiving scholarships for their training, as well as maintenance and accommodation grants.
