We are excited to announce a unique opportunity for choristers to join the Accademia Dell'Opera Italiana in Nardò. From August 1st to 15th, 2025, this prestigious program offers a week-long course led by internationally acclaimed vocal coach Massimo Modoni and renowned choral director Manuela di Pietro, culminating in a fully staged production of Cavalleria Rusticana.
Choristers will participate in an intensive study of vocality with Massimo Modoni, while Manuela di Pietro will guide them through intricate choral techniques and performance dynamics. This immersive experience will provide singers with both individual and ensemble training, focusing on the demanding yet rewarding choral elements of Mascagni’s iconic opera.
Under the direction of Marco Bellussi, a prominent figure in the European opera scene, participants will perform in a semi-staged production of Cavalleria Rusticana, alongside a talented cast of young soloists. The program also includes three free public concerts, offering a rare chance to perform in historic venues across Puglia.
This masterclass not only refines musical and stagecraft skills but also immerses participants in Italian culture, with activities such as cooking classes, language workshops, and regional tours. Join us for an unforgettable experience, set against the stunning backdrop of Puglia, and be part of this celebration of Italian opera.
