Music Residency: Lindemann Young Artists

Monteverdi is proud to welcome four extraordinary artists from The Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program — one of opera's most prestigious training programs — for two concerts in August. Guests are invited into an immersive experience, attending performances and sharing in the creative process with artists at the threshold of major international careers.

Cuban baritone Eleomar Cuello, lauded by the San Francisco Chronicle for his "musical eloquence and theatrical bravura," returns to the Met this season as Le Dancaïre in Carmen alongside debuts at Opera Theatre of St. Louis and Knoxville Opera. Pennsylvania soprano Emma Marhefka is the 2025 Grand Finals Winner of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition and made her Met debut as Papagena in The Magic Flute; she returns to the Met in 2026-27 before making her debut with Seattle Opera. Korean tenor Jonghyun Park recently made his Carnegie Hall debut and will sing with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick Nézet-Séguin this season, following a summer at the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence. Pianist Juan Lazaro, a New York-born artist of Peruvian and Russian descent, is a Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music alumnus who currently serves as Spanish Diction Coach at the Metropolitan Opera.
