The COC Academy

The COC Academy aims to create a vibrant community of Canadian artists and creative professionals through a series of early career development programs, which provide participants with the skills, experiences and resources to thrive in a global opera environment. Currently, it comprises the COC Ensemble Studio, a rigorous training program for singers and pianists/coaches, the COC Orchestra Academy for post-secondary music students, the COC Composer-in-Residence, and the COC Director/Dramaturg-in-Residence.

APPLYING FOR A COC ACADEMY RESIDENCY

The COC is open to exploring residencies in any field relating to opera. We welcome proposals from all emerging creators including, but not limited to, composers, librettists, directors, dramaturgs, independent opera companies and artist collectives, performers, artisans, and administrators.

There is no formal application process. Rather, we encourage you to contact the COC Academy at any time of year outlining your proposed residency or simply to open a dialogue about an area or aspect of operatic creation which you feel could benefit from the mentorship and resources of a company like the COC. Please contact [email protected] for more information or to submit your proposal.
