Stage Presence for Singers – A 30 minute, one-to-one class to finesse your performance to be truly ready for the stage! This may include acting, engagement, expression.
Vocal Lessons – These are 30 minute, one-to-one lessons. Learn from some of the finest vocal technicians all under one roof.
Opera Scenes – An intensive programme where students are assigned extracts from operas. Throughout the week you will receive coachings from our staff pianists, music rehearsals with conductors, stage rehearsals with directors, culminating in a performance on the final day of the course. There will be coachings and rehearsals each day of the course to prepare you for the Opera Scenes Showcase, and you are expected to arrive at the course with your scenes memorised. IMPORTANT: If you are applying for Opera Scenes, you must submit a recording in advance of the course.
Ensemble classes – Participants will be assigned to small groups of duos, trios, or quartets and allocated repertoire by the class teachers in advance of the course. A great way to work with other students on repertoire by Brahms, Schubert, Mendelssohn and more!
