Annual Fund
Friends like you enable AVA to offer world-class opera training to the most gifted young singers in the U.S. and around the globe, regardless of their ability to pay. That's because AVA is the only tuition-free school in America exclusively devoted to voice - AVA resident artists receive the equivalent of $70,000 a year in training for four years. Many also receive fellowships to help cover living expenses.
Your commitment helps us meet the high standards of our loyal subscribers with professional set, lighting and costume design to enhance the performance of AVA's extraordinary resident artists. Our students are instructed by leading performing artists, hone their craft in professional caliber productions, and work with nationally prominent stage directors.
Your support helps opera lovers of tomorrow gain valuable cultural experience through AVA's Opera Outreach program. Every year, over 1,000 middle school students from Philadelphia and New Jersey immerse themselves in AVA's hands-on opera workshops. Afterwards, they attend special matinee performances of AVA's operas.
