Distinguished Faculty

 

Program Highlights:

 

Staged opera scenes, aria recitals, and other concerts provide abundant performance opportunities for vocalists to choose from - in addition to the main opera production.

 

Vocalists of all levels will benefit from an array of private lessons, master classes and coachings, plus voice and diction training - with emphasis on the individual singer’s needs and interests. Coaches and teachers also devote significant personal attention to preparing each singer for performances.

 

As part of our choral tour, Paul Leavitt  will lead the Italian Choral Premiere of his Requiem. Soloists will be selected from Vocal Program participants.

 

 

Opera Workshop:

 

  • Private instruction & coachings 

  • Classes in:

    • Bel Canto Traditions (Vocal & Musical)

    • Aria Interpretation

    • Italian Diction

    • Movement (combined methods)

Musical Theater:

 

Due to popular demand on both sides of the Atlantic,  we enjoy bringing to the Italian stage the exuberance and passion of American musical theater so appreciated by European audiences in a special concert, A Night on Broadway.

 

Singers with a commitment to this rich American cultural tradition will relish the chance to present familiar works to an international audience thrilled with the rare opportunity to experience…the beloved music of Broadway!

Schedule:

 

Singers will receive a detailed schedule upon arrival, with a daily break-down of their coaching and rehearsals, master classes, performances, etc. Voice lessons will be scheduled individually between the student and the voice teacher. Excursions to area landmarks and out-ot-town concert trips are open to all.  The Italian siesta-hour or “riposo” after lunch gives everyone some private time or a chance to relax on the beach. Evenings are devoted to performances, convivial dinners and post-concert festivities.  A special 25th Anniversary Gala Celebration will culminate the 2020 Vocal Program.
