Artistic director Brian Zeger, faculty members Edith Wiens and Mary Birnbaum, and current and former students share their insights about the vocal arts program at Juilliard. Learn more about the faculty and curriculum, the Juilliard community, and the many performance opportunities for singers, which range from fully staged and concert opera productions, opera scenes programs, performances at Alice Tully Hall, recitals like Liederabends and the Juilliard Songbook, and master classes with world-renowned singers and conductors like Joyce DiDonato, Fabio Luisi, Gerald Finley, and Emmanuel Villaume.

The Marcus Institute's comprehensive curriculum is tailored to the needs of the 21st-century singer, who must not only sing but act, dance, analyze text, take on roles with significant physical demands, and interact with colleagues, designers, directors, and conductors from around the world.

At the heart of the Vocal Arts experience is the unparalleled access to the Marcus Institute’s world-class coaching faculty. From Italian to Russian diction, from the styles of Monteverdi to contemporary opera, from acting to movement, the Marcus Institute’s coaching faculty comprises a spectrum of specialists who are equipped to address almost any academic or artistic pursuit. All students from the undergraduate through Artist Diploma levels can request to work one on one with almost any member of the coaching faculty in order to help achieve their individual artistic, professional, and academic goals. Faculty members will encourage you to progress at your own pace through weekly coaching sessions, specialized residencies with industry leaders, and numerous opportunities to perform on the opera and concert stage at the school, Lincoln Center, and New York City—the performing arts capital of the nation.
