Miranda
My time at Issigeac was extremely fruitful, I gained invaluable knowledge and experience under the guidance of the incredible Nelly Miricioiu. The whole team were so supportive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our accommodation was incredible and our surroundings were nothing short of inspiring! Best of all, there was great camaraderie amongst us singers and some lifelong friendships were forged!
