The Stetson University School of Music and Opera Orlando are proud to announce they have partnered to launch an Apprenticeship Pilot Program beginning Fall 2023.

The students selected, Nidia Guevara-Nolasco and Isabel (Izzy) Barbato, were nominated to compete for a spot in the program alongside other colleagues based on their outstanding record in opera productions and their academic performance at Stetson. Guevara-Nolasco and Barbato auditioned and were chosen as the first Apprentices by the Artistic and General Directors of Opera Orlando. On Sept. 30, they started performance rehearsals.

Both students are profoundly honored and tremendously excited to have been chosen, and they look forward to this outstanding opportunity to learn and grow as a part of the Opera Orlando production.

Izzy and Nidia also sang in a gala event at Opera Orlando earlier this semester.
