At Opera Naples not only did I add two new roles to my repertoire working with one of the best conductors in our business, but I had so many opportunities to try new repertoire in coaching and in concert. I also enjoyed meaningful opportunities engaging with the community, and all while enjoying south Florida in the winter! My time at Opera Naples was formative and fun.

Resident Artists also perform roles in a mini opera for a school engagement program and perform standard operatic repertoire in community outreach concerts.
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 performance opportunities in mainstage productions, in-school programs, and community outreach concerts and events.
In our 2022 season, we will have 4 Resident Artists – a soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and baritone.
How are Resident Artists compensated?
A weekly stipend of $400 ($4,000 total for ten 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.
