🎼 Music & Drama Workshop
Music is a vital part of an opera. Students will discover how music can create a mood, setting or even help to identify characters. Students will also explore how opera uses the same themes they hear and experience every day in popular music.
👟 Character & Movement Workshop
Students will take part in an exploration of how movement is used to better portray a character onstage.
💄 Makeup Workshop
Singers must master basic make-up techniques to fully establish their character’s age, personality, and appearance. Students will learn a few of these basic skills as they see participants transformed before their eyes.
Program Requirements
- A tuned piano in good condition
- Three separate spaces to accommodate the workshops, including an unobstructed performance space of 30’ x 30’
