Career day for singers and pianists!

How do you become an opera singer? Is there a career for a pianist in opera? What does a vocal coach do? Join other talented high school vocalists and pianists as they explore the world of professional opera in Day at the Opera.

Throughout the day, students participate in a master class led by member of the Opera’s artistic staff, observe professionals in rehearsal, tour the scene and costume shops, and more. A question and answer time will provide opportunity for students to learn about colleges, auditions, and what the future might hold for a young singer.

When does this happen and how much does it cost?

January 14, February 18, April 1, 2009. The cost is $25/participant. Transportation is the responsibility of the student.

What does my student need to prepare?
