Sondra Radvanovsky joins the Opera for Peace Academy – Lugano 2026

We are thrilled to announce that, following Thomas Hampson, another distinguished Opera for Peace Advisor will share her artistry and wisdom with the talented Artists of the OPERA FOR PEACE ACADEMY – LUGANO 2026: 5th Anniversary Edition, in collaboration with LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura and generously sponsored by Fondation BNP Paribas – the extraordinary Sondra Radvanovsky.
 
For the first time, the Opera for Peace Academy will be hosted in Lugano, in partnership with LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura — one of Switzerland’s leading interdisciplinary arts institutions. This special anniversary edition will culminate in a public final concert with the OSI – Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, conducted by Kamal Khan, Opera for Peace Artistic & Musical Director.
 
Together, we continue building bridges through music, mentorship, and artistic excellence for the next generation of citizen artists.
