The Mexican tenor Francisco Araiza is the studio's artistic coach. For the past 15 years, he has been one of the leading tenors on the world's opera stages, and it is this experience, coupled with a highly sensitive and inspiring artistic practice, that make him an ideal mentor for the young artists of the IOS Zurich.
