The New York Opera Studio is dedicated to helping artists move from conventional voice education to the professional operatic stage. Designed for the singer who is already studying vocal technique and committed to a professional career, the New York Opera Studio helps young artists bridge the gap between conventional voice education and the professional operatic stage. It is set up as an "open conservatory", offering classes and workshops taught by some of the finest names in opera and theater.

These classes include the Castel's popular "duo-master class" Making It Professional as well as a Role Study Class where singers study a complete operatic roles; Singers Showcase class where singers obtain performance experience; as well as classes in Musical Interpretation, the International Phonetic Alphabet, Spanish Lyric Diction and Vocal Repertoire and Acting, Artistry and the Creative Process for Singers.
