Acting the Aria: Opera and Art Song
Acting the Aria: Opera and Art Song
You’ve got your 5 audition arias (or not), you’ve memorized them, and you can sing them. What now? So much of our brains are taken over by the process of singing that we often forget we are telling a story from a specific point of view. Over 42 years of performing in operas and in recital and concert, and 20 years of teaching, I have developed a course on how to break down a song to not only help you tell the story, but help memorize it and how to sing it.
This class involves book work and singing for each other in a super supportive space. There are no egos here, but a humble approach to the work and each other.
By the end of 5 weeks, you should have a polished audition book or song cycle that holds no terrors, and a method to bring to all your other work.
