<p>Check out the Academy of Vocal Arts at [Academy</a> of Vocal Arts: Giving Voice to Opera’s Future!](<a href=“http://www.avaopera.org/]Academy”>http://www.avaopera.org/)</p>
<p>Note that they offer an Artist Diploma, not a graduate degree. Like Curtis, admission is quite selective and tuition is free but the student must pay for living expenses. That can easily top $2000 per month in Philadelphia.</p>
