“A transformative experience which was essential for me in navigating the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of performing arts today. A truly enriching experience!” - Luca M, Italy
BOA was founded on the philosophy of “learning by doing”. Apprentices and Interns across various department are given the autonomy to take on responsibility, embrace opportunities, and work from their own initiative. It is our belief that this is the most effective way of preparing for careers in the opera industry.
