This summer, the rolling hills and olive groves of Abruzzo will resonate with the sublime melodies of Mozart, as Opera Studio Abruzzo (OSA) unveils its 2024 Summer Program. At the helm is the illustrious baritone Emilio Marcucci, who, along with a staff of lauded professionals from the Teatro alla Scala, Vienna State Opera, and Mariinsky Theater, promises an immersive operatic experience.
OSA is proud to stage not one but two adaptations of Mozart's operatic jewel, "Le Nozze di Figaro." The main event will showcase a full production with orchestra, while a specially adapted version for children will offer a unique educational twist.

A Word from Emilio Marcucci
Marcucci encapsulates the spirit of OSA with his compelling insights: “We offer a professional stage to those who wish to put themselves to the test. Stage experience is the ultimate teacher and refining fire for young artists. There is no better context in which a young singer can not only confront their fears and limitations but truly master them.” He encourages all to "osare" – to dare to go beyond, echoing the Italian word's invitation to push boundaries and uncover one’s true potential.
