The National Opera Intensive is a three-week program hosted by Against the Grain Theatre and University of Toronto Opera to immerse emerging artists in the exciting canon of modern-contemporary works and engaging workshops to expand the mind of the modern artist. 

The NOI is meant to prioritize individual artistic needs in the middle of August when the new-reality audition season is just around the corner. AtG's outside-the-box approach to traditional opera matched with UofT Opera's educational excellence is quickly being established as a hub for singers to learn and perform. 

The program consists of private voice, repertoire and acting coachings, masterclasses and roundtables with program faculty, and a variety of seminars and workshops to encourage artists to consider a holistic approach to their artistry and professional careers.

"As a graduate of this storied institution, my foundation for opera was built at UofT Opera. Our Executive Director, Robin Whiffen is also a graduate of UofT Voice and together we couldn't be more thrilled to continue this relationship with Sandra Horst and Michael Patrick Albano." Joel Ivany
