"Be ready to work: mentally, physically, and every other way possible that will expand you as a musician. You will learn more in these nine days than you learned all semester. You will work hard and expeditiously, but you will grow astronomically. The faculty is supportive and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. The one on one attention each singer receives is like none other. Everyone is supportive and wants to see you succeed. It is a loving, open and welcoming atmosphere."

— Patrick, 2019 Respiro Opera Young Artist
