Created in 2004 to honour the memory of the legendary Hungarian orchestra conductor Sir Georg Solti, the Accademia named after him today represents one of the most eloquent and exclusive training opportunities for young opera singers and répétiteurs who have reached a turning point in their careers. Since its foundation it has provided training to over one hundred and eighty promising talents, many of whom have undertaken important professional careers and obtained prestigious engagements in some of the most renowned festivals (Glyndebourne and Santa Fe) or at major international opera houses (Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, La Scala, Milano and the Metropolitan Opera House, New York).

This year the first-rate team of teachers is composed of Pamela Bullock from the Chicago Lyric Opera, Sir Richard Bonynge, Jonathan Papp, artistic director of the Georg Solti Accademia di Bel Canto, and Audrey Hyland from the Royal Academy of Music. Following auditions held at the Royal Academy of Music, London in late January, six exceptionally talented students were selected from all over the world for the masterclasses. The student repetiteurs, will work together with alumni from the Bel Canto course, and will be able to extend and improve their skills, which include occasionally conducting rehearsals, managing offstage activities and playing the continuo for recitatives. At the end of the course there will be a final concert open to the public.
