The WNO Institute nurtures aspiring singers to build the skills and knowledge they need to have agency over their careers as performers and fully formed artists. The Institute recognizes the need to support young people's exciting, individual voices and their ability to shape the future of the field.

The Institute's curriculum includes the fundamentals of vocal and theatrical performance alongside practical aspects of a career in the arts. With a focus on improvising and co-creating works, students take ownership of and contribute to every aspect of their performances.

The WNO Institute is a summer training program for high school singers focusing on vocal and theatrical performance and preparing students for a career in music. Students develop performance skills and learn to use their talents to create a better future in the arts and the world as Citizen Artists.
