Bergen National Opera is inviting you to apply for our fifth Summer Academy Opera by the Fjord 21-29 June 2025. We can now reveal the programme – and the application forms are opened!

Are you looking for practical experience on stage, input and inspiration from professionals in the world of opera and symphony?

The concert programme for 2025 is: Highlights from Don Giovanni, act 1 from Die Walküre – and the scene Im Walde from Hänsel und Gretel – plus the student's own favourite arias.
