2019 YOUNG ARTISTS

NEW THIS SUMMER: The Young Artist Program at Opera Saratoga has historically included two "levels" of artists: Studio Artists and Apprentice Artists. Opera Saratoga continues to provide professional mentorship and performing opportunities to gifted emerging artists with different levels of experience through the program, but beginning this season, all members of the program are now designed "Festival Artists."
