Valencia, European capital of opera training

Conservatorio Superior de Música “Joaquín Rodrigo” (Valencia), proud host of the third edition of the European Opera Academy Open Days, which will be held from February 9 to 13.

Conservatorio Superior de Música “Joaquín Rodrigo” (Valencia), one of the institute members of ISEACV, is preparing to host the EOA Open Days. First held at the Luigi Cherubini Conservatory in Florence in 2023, the EOA Open Days are among the largest European events, bringing together promising young opera singers, experienced teachers with distinguished careers as performers, and other industry professionals.

The program will feature numerous masterclasses, panel discussions, and several public concerts, including the Welcome Concert (February 9), performed by students of the Valencia Higher Conservatory of Music, and the final Gala Concert (February 13), both held in the conservatory’s auditorium. Special mention should be made of the day of mini-concerts or showcases, organised in collaboration with the Palau de la Música (February 10) and the visit of the Sinfonía de la mañana team with Martín Llade at the helm (February 11), who will dedicate a full program to the European Opera Academy and the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Valencia as host of the event and the only Spanish conservatory in this prestigious international network.

Fundada en 2015 por el Conservatorio de Maastricht, la EOA es una ambiciosa plataforma de academias de música que promueve las mejores prácticas en la formación operística de jóvenes profesionales. Un proyecto sólido con más de una década de existencia y que se ha constituido como punto de encuentro y referencia internacional en la formación profesional operística.
