Page "Glimmerglass Festival" Paragraph 8

The Young American Artists Program, established in 1988, brings singers in the first stages of their professional careers to study and perform at Glimmerglass.

These young artists are chosen annually from hundreds of applicants from throughout the United States.

In addition to rehearsing and performing, Young Artists receive musical coaching, attend classes in diction and acting, and are given instruction in such non-performing skills as audition techniques, role preparation, and the business aspects of managing a career.

Administrators from many of the world's leading opera houses visit Glimmerglass throughout the summer and hear the Young Artists in performance.
