A reception following the performance offered guests the opportunity to mingle with the Young Artists.  

Since their first public performance in October 2013, the FGO Young Artists have had an amazing season in South Florida. From main stage performances, including our “Unexpected Opera” No Exit, to more than 130 outreach and educational performances in between, our 2013-2014 class of Young Artists have truly risen to the occasion. "I am so proud of their hard work and dedication and wish them the best in their very bright futures” commented Susan Danis, General Director and CEO of Florida Grand Opera.

Florida Grand Opera’s Young Artist Program has gained worldwide recognition as one of the leading operatic training programs in the United States. The program provides talented young singers with an opportunity to refine the skills developed during formal music education, targeting those areas necessary to develop a successful career in opera.
