The Classic Lyric Arts 2026 Summer Programs will take place in France and Italy, with three distinct, immersive programs: CLA France, CLA Mozart, and CLA Italy.
“There was not a single coaching or lesson where I did not learn something new-- I left every meeting feeling more inspired than the last.”
“This was a summer that offered a healthy dose of challenges and left me feeling fulfilled and even more alive than when I arrived. Now I have returned home with an open mind and an even deeper curiosity for the art form.”
“Whether it was rethinking how I approached consonants in my Italian arias or developing deeper emotional connections in performance, the guidance I received at CLA made me more refined, more confident, and more in touch with my unique sound.”
“By the end of CLA Berkshires… I felt as though I unlocked something my voice and my artistry were missing.”
“By the first concert, I noticed I was excited to sing and had fewer of the feelings I associated with my stage fright. With every concert, I felt more ease, joy, and excitement to be on stage.”
“I left every single coaching having learned something fundamentally necessary to the art of singing.”
“CLA France was an enriching experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life, whose values I hope to find and experience again throughout my career.”
“Without a doubt, each faculty member was invested in my growth as a performer and technician; I stepped into every performance knowing they, and my peers, completely had my back.”
