Meet the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Artists
The Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Artists Training Program is an integral part of Central City Opera’s annual Summer Opera Festival. Held in the historic town of Central City in the mountains of Colorado, the training artists’ program includes daily opera training in diction, movement, stage combat, individual vocal coaching, and sessions in career management, combined with rehearsals and performance opportunities.
The Apprentice Artist Program is a career-entry program with positions available for approximately 15 singers who have obtained or are pursuing graduate degrees, have some performing experience in school or professional productions, and are ready for secondary roles and to understudy featured and principal roles in main stage productions.
The Studio Artist Program is intended for singers who demonstrate outstanding potential and who are seeking pre-apprentice experience. Positions are available for approximately 15 singers who are pursuing their education, have some performing experience in school productions, are ready for ensemble and chorus work and, in some instances, to understudy secondary and featured roles in professional productions and scene study culminating in public performances.
