From now on until February 26th, 2019, it’s time to sign up for the 2019 "Solti Accademia China Master Classes at the NCPA", co-hosted by the NCPA and Georg Solti Accademia under the patronage of the Rolex Institute.
The Georg Solti Accademia Master Classes is a young singer training programme established in 2004, in honour of Hungarian maestro Georg Solti, to promote the vocal development and providing young bel canto learners with a valuable opportunity for study, exchanges and training.
Young bel canto singers are provided with opportunities for study, exchanges and training.
In 2016, the programme was officially launched in China by establishing a cooperative relationship with the NCPA under strong support of the Rolex. In 2019, artistic director Jonathan Papp, vocal music director Stefano Baldasseroni, celebrated soprano Barbara Frittoli and bass Giacomo Prestia will give lessons together for one week, to provide a golden opportunity for young Chinese bel canto singers to learn singing.
The “Solti China Master Classes” has won strong support from the Rolex Institute, which will pay tuition fees in full for students. Students will only pay for their stay in Beijing (food, accommodation and transportation). After the classes, one outstanding student will be singled out and sent to the Georg Solti Accademia between June and July, 2020 to attend a summer programme. This student will just need to buy a round-trip air ticket at his/her own expense, while the tuition, board and lodging fees will be provided by the scolarship.
