Welcome to Accademia Belcanto
"Accademia Belcanto" is a summer festival in Graz, founded by the mezzo-soprano Natela Nicoli in 2012 and held so far in a biennial rhythm.
The central event of the festival is an international singing competition, which was held with great success. There were also intensive vocal coaching courses and master classes by world-famous stars and gala concerts with the orchestra and piano.
