FAVA in France
About the program
Immerse yourself in the language, music, and culture of France through an intensive summer program dedicated to French art song and opera. Designed for international singers, the program offers focused study in interpretation, French diction, and performance, while inviting participants to explore the distinctive poetry, musical language, and artistic traditions that define the French vocal repertoire.
Through individual coaching and work on songs, arias, and opera scenes, singers will deepen their understanding of the repertoire and develop greater confidence, expressiveness, and stylistic awareness. The program culminates in public performances, giving participants the opportunity to share their work with an audience and bring the repertoire to life in performance.
FAVA in France is based in Angers, a fascinating city at the edge of the Loire Valley. Discover Angers

"Thank you so much for your instruction, and for the wonderful opportunity of performing with FAVA this summer. I learned so much in that six weeks, about music and about the opera world. I will always be grateful to you."

"The FAVA in France program has the most well balanced mix of the rigors and rewards of this profession. This is not a pushover summer program for the faint of heart ... but a real world experience of the challenges of performing in high pressure situations overseas."
