With more artists, concerts, and audience members than ever before, 2024 was a memorable summer full of growth and discovery- and there is more to come in 2025.

The Classic Lyric Arts 2025 Summer Programs will take place in France, Italy, and the Berkshires. Applications are live for Summer 2025!

“Being surrounded by such kindness allowed me to find more freedom in my voice than I'd been able to access before.”

“With the support of the faculty and the community among the participants, I rediscovered my confidence and love for this amazing craft called opera.”

"I am forever grateful that my voice, my French, and my life will always bear the fingerprints of CLA France."

"CLA made me feel like I truly belonged somewhere, and for the first time, I felt I could sing without fear."

“Space to grow as a singer, as a musician, as an artist, and as a person. These were my first impressions of CLA Berkshires.”

“It is one thing to dutifully study the music of a country, but it is a different thing altogether to experience first-hand its language, art, and culture with the people that enliven this art form.”

We’re thrilled to introduce the incoming singers and pianists for the Classic Lyric Arts 2023 summer programs: CLA France, CLA Berkshires, and CLA Italy! 

As this year comes to a close, our team is already fast at work preparing for our next summer of opera and song. We are thrilled to announce our Classic Lyric Arts 2023 Summer Programs taking place in France, Italy, and the Berkshires.
