Opera Workshop provides you with opportunities to build the performing skills necessary for success on the stage in opera. Each semester, you will hone your acting and movement skills while also preparing arias, ensembles, and often full productions with piano or orchestra.
This course, co-directed by Dr. Meghan DeWald Althouse (stage director) and Dr. Nathália Kato Giordano (music director), is open to all music undergraduate and graduate students and non-music majors with relative experience.
