Today is the final day to apply to all 2027 Wolf Trap Opera training programs. ⏰🐺

Soprano Tessa McQueen knows Wolf Trap Opera well – she first joined as a Studio Artist in 2023 and returned this summer as a Filene Artist to sing the title role in Tosca. She puts it simply:

“Coming back this year felt like a full circle moment with myself, my voice, and my art.”

Filene Artists perform principal roles in Wolf Trap Opera’s mainstage productions – singers who have finished graduate or professional training and are at the threshold of full-time professional careers. Each season, roughly 15–20 are selected from a pool of around 800 applicants.

Apply today before deadlines close at Stagetime.com. ✨ by @stagetimearts

Soprano Angela Yam joined @wolftrapopera this summer as a Filene Artist – performing Clorinda in La Cenerentola, presenting a Salon Series recital, and even writing an original art song for her collaborators. In her own words: “I felt so trusted by the WTO team to bring my individuality and artistry to every project I was a part of.” 🐺

Wolf Trap Opera is one of the only companies in the world to select each season’s repertoire after choosing its singers – building productions around the artists, not the other way around. Filene Artists perform all principal roles on the mainstage, chosen from a competitive pool of around 800 applicants each year.

Applications for the 2027 season are open now. Deadline is August 31. Apply at Stagetime.com. ✨ by @stagetimearts
