he Teatro Lirico Sperimentale di Spoleto was founded in 1947 by Adriano Belli, lawyer and musicologist, with the aim of initiating into the profession of opera those young people gifted with particular artistic qualities who, having completed their singing studies, had not yet made their debut. By welcoming the winners of the "Experimental" singing competition in Spoleto and starting them on a two-year course, they are given those elements that the school does not offer: not only preparation of the works but also preparation for the gesture, under the guidance of the directors and of the directors who stage the operas themselves in the introductory opera season.

The activity takes place in three phases: in March the Competition for young opera singers of the European Community takes place in Spoleto, during which an international jury selects the candidates from all over Europe among which only those who achieve an average of 8/ 10. The next phase includes a five-month debut preparation course during which various lessons are given: diction, mime, acting as well as vocal improvement. In the last period of preparation the students study the roles chosen by the Artistic Director for their debut. The Opera Season is the culmination of the preparation and usually takes place in Spoleto in September. The students receive a scholarship and live in Spoleto for the period of the course and the opera season. The choice of the works to be staged is based on the vocality of the winners, it being understood that for didactic reasons it is considered essential that the students face an opera from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one from the nineteenth century, one from the twentieth. Many great names of international opera have won the "Experimental" competition, studied in Spoleto and debuted in the Institution's Opera Season, including Cesare Valletti, Franco Corelli, Antonietta Stella, Anita Cerquetti, Giangiacomo Guelfi, Ettore Bastianini, Anna Moffo, Gabriella Tucci, Marcella Pobbe, Rolando Panerai, Margherita Rinaldi, Franco Bonisolli, Giorgio Merighi, Leo Nucci, Ruggero Raimondi, Renato Bruson, Mietta Sighele, Veriano Luchetti, Salvatore Fisichella, Luciana D'Intino, Mariella Devia, Lucia Aliberti.
