Opera Vivente Masterclass Series

September 10, 2008 - Here's some more info about Opera Vivente's Masterclass Series the inaugural event of which is coming up on Tuesday, October 7th from 2-4pm. Ruth Drucker, internationally renowned singer and teacher, will give a masterclass entitled "Polishing Your Mozart Aria". Fee is $25 for participants (limit of 6) and $10 for auditors (unlimited number). Singers interested in being a participant should email a letter of interest and current resume to jbowen@operavivente.org. If selected to participate they will be contacted regarding finalizing their time slot, etc. If not selected, they will be contacted to see if they would like to audit the masterclass instead. This is a wonderful opportunity to receive insight into Mozartian style and to see a true "meistersangerin" at work (sorry, purists, I can't figure out how to umlaut in Blogger). If you would like more info, please feel free to contact me at 410.547.7997 or via email at the address listed above.

Looking ahead, we are also thrilled to say that John Shirley-Quirk, widely regarded as a definitive interpreter of many Britten baritone roles, will be giving a masterclass on Britten on May 13, 2009.
