I’ve had a few people ask me recently about opera studios in Germany (Opernstudio or Junges Ensemble, basically what is in other parts called a Young Artist or Apprentice Programme), so I thought I might do a few posts about that over the next little while.
So, as far as I’m aware, these are (in alphabetical order) the studios attached to houses (I can’t comment on the renumeration) that exist in the German speaking part of the world (Germany, Austria and parts of Switzerland):
- Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe
- Bayerisches Staatsoper München
- Deustche Oper Berlin
- Deutsche Oper am Rhein – Düsseldorf
- Dresden Semperoper
- Hamburgische Staastoper
- Komisch Oper Berlin
- Musiktheater im Revier, Gelsenkirchen
- Oper Frankfurt
- Oper Köln
- Oper Zürich
- Staatsoper Berlin
- Staatsoper Hanover
- Staatsoper Stuttgart
- Staatstheater Nürnberg
- Theater Basel
- Theater Bremen
- Theater Graz
- Theater Lübeck
- Theater an der Wien
- Thüringer Opernstudio (attached to three theatres: Nordhausen, Erfurt & Deutsches National Theater Weimar with the Hochschule für Musik)
If I’ve missed an opera studio, please let me know!

Hy! I want to ask you if you know about opera studios in other countries of Europe. Thank you!
I haven’t got an extensive list, but houses like Paris, Milan, Strasbourg, Covent Garden, ENO, Glyndebourne, Aix-en-Provence, Flemish Opera & Welsh National have, I think, studios or YAPs.
Thank you!
Hello! May i study in german opera studio if i’m not from Germany? (i’m moskow conservatory student)
Most opera studios in Germany are international, and accept applicants from all over the world. There are a couple which draw only from a particular music school, however (e.g. Karlsruhe).
Hi Andrew, great site, already proven extremely useful! Thank you.
I´m a pianist though, and most of these studios don´t have places for repetiteurs. Any chance of finding a similar list regarding vocal coaching/accompaniment?
Hi Eda,
I’ll see what I can come up with.. can’t promise though!
Thanks for stopping by
There’s a new one!
