The Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA) is a private, post-baccalaureate opera school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As of 2023, the AVA does not grant degrees, but rather Artist Diplomas to those who complete the full, four-year course requirement. AVA is a tuition-free institution devoted solely to operatic training and performance.[1] The school was founded in 1934 by Helen Corning Warden.[2]

Notable alumni include Lando Bartolini,[1] Ruth Ann Swenson[1] and Joyce DiDonato.[3] The institution maintains a Hall of Fame for Great American Opera Singers, which The Opera Quarterly described as equivalent to the kammersänger title in Europe.[4]
