Opera classes hit right note with young singers

When the Georg Solti Accademia program returned to China this year, eight young Chinese bel canto singers received one-on-one tutoring from Italian musicians during an event at the National Center for the Performing Arts that took place from May 9 to 13.

Chinese singer Liang Wanchun from Xi'an Conservatory of Music won a scholarship to a threeweek summer course, which will take place in the Tuscan seaside town of Castiglione della Pescaia, Italy, in July 2020.

Launched in 2004 in honor of Hungarian maestro Georg Solti, the Georg Solti Accademia gives young bel canto singers from around the world who are at the start of their careers the opportunity to attend master classes and cultural exchanges in Italian opera and singing.
