We are incredibly proud and fortunate to announce our new artistic home, the Teatro de la República.  This 600 seat, traditional horse-shoe shaped, opera house from the early 1800’s is the perfect venue for the developing and seasoned lyric artist to explore and perform.   A most important part of Mexican national history as this was the site of the signing of the Constitution after the Revolution of 1810, liberating Mexico from Spain and is considered one of the most important theatres in the country.  It is also home to Querétaro’s Orchesta Filarmonica.

It will now be the performance venue for our continued “Art of Song” Recital Series and opera workshop productions.

Atelier S and Stuart Graham in México:

mandate and current projects

In 2002 Atelier S took root in Toronto, Canada as the private workshopping studio of baritone Stuart Graham, and under its auspices, several study/performance opportunities were formed, most notably the “Art of Song” series along with several opera workshop productions.  All of this in aid of the artist transitioning from the student career to the lyric profession.  In this format, giving his student artists the chance to exercise the stage several times in a season, his students advanced remarkably.  This gave rapid rise to several as they were quickly taken on to prestigious festivals (in N. America and Europe), graduate level performance programs and as finalists and winners of major competitions, national and international. 

Presence in Mexico

With the birth of Atelier S’ International Summer Vocal Academy in Santiago de Querétaro, México, many opportunities opened and have taken root, thus, the permanent move of Atelier S and Stuart Graham to México.  Together with the Facultad de Bellas Artes  of the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro as well as the Embassy of Canada in Mexico City, Atelier S is working towards the education and promotion of worthy Canadian talent in the very important Latin market as well as creating an equal cultural exchange experience for worthy Mexican artists to discover and perform in Canada.
