Opera students

We accept new students for the bachelor's program in opera two years out of three. Therefore, there are only two classes enrolled in the program at any time. The next new class will begin in the autumn of 2027. The master's program is open for applications every two years, which means that there is one class at a time. Find students from recent years at the opera programs on the page Opera students.
