Welcome to our temporary website. Our new website is under construction and expected to go live in the very near future.

The New Zealand Opera School was founded in 1994 and provides intensive vocal, language, movement and acting training with tutors of international standing. The School's key objective is to give our emerging opera singers the very best tuition possible and provide a taste of the discipline required to succeed in the fast-growing, competitive and demanding world of opera performance.

The School runs every January for 12 days at Wanganui Collegiate School in Wanganui. Students reside at the Collegiate for the duration of the School and receive intensive one-on-one tution in all performance disciplines from a variety of tutors. They also take part in masterclasses and various other performance opportunities.

If you have any questions about the School, the application process, or would simply like to get in touch, please contact us at info@operaschool.org.nz
