INO Scholarship for MMus in Répétiteur
Irish National Opera offers a scholarship for one skilled répétiteur student to benefit from the specialist opera and répétiteur expertise of conservatoire staff on the MMus programme in conjunction with the INO Studio.
The activities of the INO Studio are aligned with the components of the MMus programme and experience working on INO’s professional productions will form part of assessments for the MMus. The INO Studio provides specially tailored training, mentorship with leading Irish and international musicians, masterclasses and high-level performance opportunities.
The professional experience gained through INO’s productions makes this scholarship an invaluable opportunity for anyone interested in pursuing a career as a répétiteur. Applications are invited from pianists at an early stage of professional development, or from more experienced artists who wish to expand their career in opera.
