The International Opera Academy (IOA) is a postgraduate program for classically trained
singers and repetiteurs, forming the bridge between musical education and the professional opera world. The International Opera Academy (formerly known as Operastudio Flanders) offers an affordable two year postgraduate programme to help prepare young singers and accompanist repetiteurs for the complex job awaiting them in the opera world. Students are intensively prepared for professional practice and auditions through targeted courses with performing artists, and they benefit from the IOA's affiliation with several major European houses.

‘Misschien zal u zoals de zwaluw overzee vliegen naar een land vol licht, vol dromen, naar de zon, naar de Liefde’, zo voorspelt de dichter Prunier aan Magda, een gewezen courtisane, die hunkert naar een grote, ware liefde. Die zwaluw of ‘la rondine’ gaf de naam aan een vergeten parel van Giacomo Puccini – die vaak zijn La traviata wordt genoemd. Ook al vindt Magda in Ruggero ‘de ware’, haar verleden staat haar in de weg om een veilig nest te bouwen.

Zangers van de International Opera Academy en de talentvolle musici van Youth Orchestra Flanders belichten de liefde in al haar facetten. In scherp contrast met Magda’s romantische liefdesdroom staat het pragmatisme van het dorpsmeisje Parasja dat in Stravinsky’s komische eenakter Mavra haar minnaar, vermomd als de nieuwe kokkin, binnensmokkelt bij haar alleenstaande oude moeder. Regisseuse Inne Goris,die zich met Ophelia (2021) eerder verdiepte in jeugdige verliefdheid, smeedt beide vergeten opera’s tot een verrassende, semi-scenische voorstelling waarin ook Ravels La Valse zijn opwachting maakt. Zowel volks als mondain en doordrongen van vele dansritmen.
