Spotlight on Opera is in its 10th season as Texas’ premiere summer opera training program. We are dedicated to providing training and performance opportunities to career-track and avocational singers aged 15 and up. Founded in 2007 by Program Director Cindy Sadler, Spotlight began as a one-week summer program at St. Edward’s University. The program expanded quickly and by 2010 went full time, acting as a community opera troupe in the fall and spring and a training program for aspiring singers in the summer, a model we continue today.
