Dutch National Opera Academy

Dutch National Opera Academy is a partnership of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.

The Dutch National Opera Academy is an elite two-year’s master’s programme offering a wide-ranging curriculum encompassing all aspects in the training of an aspiring opera artist. In addition to a focus on refining technical skills, students are supported in developing a very clear sense of vocal and artistic identity, and how these attributes can best be united to meet market demands and expectat

ions. The programme is tailored so as to enable young artists to enhance chances of success in a competitive field as they transition from full-time education to the workplace. DNOA graduates can be found in many of the world’s leading opera houses. The programme mounts several full-scale productions each season and enjoys close ties with the wider world of opera.

“The DNOA is the Champions League in Arts education. It provides a unique and supportive environment for ambitious singers wanting to cross the gap between education and the international stage." Gerben van der Werf counter-tenor – graduate 2021

So proud of all the DNOA alumni taking part in this show with Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century! Michael, Peter, Hannah and Benjamin (conductor!) all made their way through the DNOA, and Hannah even sang this show while studying here 😍

If you're in the area on Sunday, don't miss this show at Musikfest Bremen!

Recently graduated tenor, Salvador Simão didn’t even take the summer off before diving into the 2026/2027 season! 🤯

We’re so proud that he will be making his Innsbruck Festival debut in the role of Aminta in Händel’s, Atalanta. In 2025, Salvador was the 1st prize winner of the Cesti Competition at the Festival, and we’re sure he’ll make us incredibly proud once again!

Toi toi toi Salvador!

Given that tenor Salvador Simão is off to the Vienna State Opera, we’re guessing it won’t be the last time he will render an audience member speechless 😍

The FULL masterclass given by Pietro Spagnoli in November 2025 can now be found on the DNOA YouTube channel via our link in bio!

Salvador sings “Fatto inferno…Pastorello d’un povero armento” from Händel’s Rodelinda with Peter Nilsson on piano.

Three years after performing in Haydn’s L’isola disabitata, since graduating from the Dutch National Opera Academy, mezzo-soprano Maria Warenberg graces bigger and bigger stages!

Tonight she performs a solo recital in the Recital Hall of the esteemed and on August 22, 2026, she will perform in one of the Netherlands most anticipated concerts of the year: the Prinsengrachtconcert!

Toi toi toi Maria for tonight and every night! You make everyone at the DNOA very proud 😄

From rushing to rehearsal, making sure everything is memorized, thinking ahead to next year, staying hydrated, and remembering to eat enough every day, the weeks and months at the DNOA can go by really fast!

But sometimes we get to slow down and look back on everything we’ve achieved, the moments we shared outside of rehearsal, (even the annoyingly long commutes we had each day) that stick in our heads for years to come. The moments that take the DNOA from an opera academy to a home away from home. 👐🏼

We’re proud to see our singers inspire one another every day, growing not only as artists but as people, building friendships that will last them a lifetime and ensuring familiar faces wherever they go 😊

We may have traded in our costumes for cocktails for the summer break, but we’re still thinking about our furry little friends.🐾
Even after four performances, we still can’t decide which costume is our favourite. So we’re leaving the decision to you! Which one gets your vote? One look at Maartje Prins’ beautiful costumes from The Cunning Little Vixen, and we’re right back in their colourful world.🦊
Pick your favourite look and let us know!👇
