Who are the Resident Artists?
Resident Artists are emerging professionals who participate in an artistically challenging residency program with Opera Naples. They receive training and perform in mainstage productions, in-school programs, and community outreach concerts and events.
In our 2021 season, we will have 4 Resident Artists – a soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and baritone.
How are Resident Artists compensated?
A weekly stipend of $400 ($2,000 total over five weeks), a travel stipend, and local housing will be provided over the course of the residency. Local transportation is not provided - Naples has limited public transportation, so it is necessary for Artists to have their own vehicles.
