We are excited to unveil details regarding our fall virtual season! With the safety of our Resident Artists, faculty, staff and audiences in mind, we have adjusted our offerings while still maintaining our focus on training singers. The Academy is committed to the well-being of the entire AVA community. While the fall performance season looks different due to the pandemic, AVA is delighted to offer our audiences the opportunity to get to know its Resident Artists in new ways, through online content such as interviews, lectures, performances, and alumni spotlights.
Patrons are encouraged to follow AVA on social media on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, to join our email list and actively visit our website as details emerge for upcoming performances.
