About the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program
Michael Heaston, Executive Director and Acting Artistic Director
Founded in 1980, the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program's goal is to nurture the most talented young artists through training and performance opportunities. The Lindemann Young Artists Development Program uses the Met's unique resources to identify and educate young singers and coach/pianists for major careers in opera. To meet the individual needs of each young artist, the program provides specialized training in music, language, dramatic coaching, and movement from the Met's own artistic staff and invited master teachers. Along with an annual stipend for living expenses, the program also funds private lessons with approved teachers from outside the Met staff. In addition, program participants have access to rehearsals for all Metropolitan Opera productions. Participants are offered a position with the program for a period of two to three years for singers, and two years for pianists. During this period, the young artists' engagements in and outside of the Met are at the consent of the artistic and executive directors.
