PROGRAM OUTLINE
Approximately thirty young artists are selected to
participate from auditions held during the winter and spring months. The first four weeks
are
dedicated to staging, lectures, seminars, master classes and
individual coaching. On the fifth week we
move into the theater and focus entirely on preparation for the final
performances.
Critiques are given to all participants after the performances by
faculty and selected professionals. We begin staging in the
first week,
therefore
all participants must come with their roles completely memorized and OFF
BOOK by the first day of class.
ELIGIBILITY
The program
is open to opera singers ages 21 to 35. The applicants must have sufficient
