Royal Academy Opera is a specialist and intensive postgraduate 2-year Advanced Diploma (Level 8 in the UK Qualifications Framework). This course is for those with the potential and aspirations to succeed as principals at the highest international standard.
Aspiring operatic candidates should apply for the two-year Advanced Diploma programme, at Level 8 in the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework. Candidates typically will already be studying voice at postgraduate level. You do not need to make additional applications for other Vocal Faculty courses at the Academy if you are auditioning for Opera, but non-operatic candidates should apply for a Vocal Studies course instead.
