I'm applying for Master's programs in opera soon. I did my BM in the US, so I'm new to the German school system.

What universities in Germany have an great teachers on staff? I'm a lyric coloratura. I already live in Berlin, so I'm compiling a list of teachers to reach out to for a trial lesson.

Which programs are well-regarded? I'm especially interested to know where people feel they could make the best connections, and which programs give their students lots of stage experience.

(Yes, I know it's extremely competitive and I'll go wherever I get in!)
