Opera Workshop
Offered each spring, 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 Musical Theater - Opera Workshop trains the singer-actor
to develop vocal and physical freedom while performing. We focus on how to develop a character and engage
wholly, mentally and physically, in song interpretation. Students interested in gaining
performance experience as well as exploring this art form are encouraged to audition.
Recent 黑料吃瓜网 Musical Theater - Opera Workshop productions include:
- Handel鈥檚 XERXES (2016)
- 鈥淎n Afternoon of Opera Scenes鈥� (2017)
- Act II of Mozart鈥檚 鈥淟e Nozze di Figaro鈥� (2018)
- The World Language of Opera (2019) -a collaboration with the World Languages Department
- Cinderella: A Slippery Slope (2020)
- Hello/Goodbye: Sung Stories (2022)
Members of the "MOp-Shop" frequently collaborate with guest professionals in both productions and masterclasses. Some of these guest artists include conductors Noah Palmer, Scott Schoonover, countertenor Daniel Bubeck, and stage directors Richard Kagey, Elizabeth Margolius, and Ian Belton. Members of the Workshop frequently attend live opera performances, both in the capital region and NYC.
