SUMMER OPERA ACADEMY
1 - 7 August 2023, Belgrade
Rossi Fest, this time in cooperation with the organization Grand Stage International, organized the third edition of the Summer Opera Academy, during which intensive trainings were held for young solo singers from the country and abroad, with excellent vocal pedagogues and coaches.
For the third time, Rossi Fest had the honor of collaborating with Olga Makarin, a longtime soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, and also with the conductor Adi Bar Soria. Apart from this team, the young singers also had the opportunity to work with excellent conductors and vocal coaches - Vlad Iftinca and Ugo Mahieux, who actively collaborate with the biggest opera names of today.
Rosi Fest owes great thanks to the friends of the festival for their support: the Jewish Municipality of Belgrade, the Ministry of Culture, and the Legate of Josip Slavenski.
