Repetiteurs Masterclasses
www.georgsoltiaccademia.org Repetiteurs Masterclasses The Georg Solti Accademia announces LWV¿IWK6ROWL3HUHWWL5pSpWLWHXUV0DVWHUFODVVHV in Barcelona, 2 | 10 April 2013 The Georg Solti Accademia Répétiteur’s Masterclasses are unique in the music world, and have become the go-to intensive course for aspiring répétiteurs internationally. Featured last year on BBC 2’s series Maestro at the Opera, the course offers an immersion in preparing singers for operatic performance, with an incomparable faculty of teachers including Sir Richard Bonynge, Pamela Bullock, Jonathan Papp and Audrey Hyland. This year the President of the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundations, Ms Elsa Peretti (the pre-eminent designer for Tiffany), has made it possible for the course to be run in Elsa’s elective city of Barcelona, in collaboration with the Theatre Akademia, where WKHUpSpWLWHXU¶V¿QDOFRQFHUWZLOOWDNHSODFHRQ$SULODW Six outstanding young pianists, from $XVWUDOLD)UDQFH*UHHFH6SDLQDQGWKH8., will gather in Barcelona in April with six talented singers, all alumni of the Georg Solti Accademia’s Bel Canto course, to focus on this vital, but often hidden, craft. A répétiteur is the singer’s key ally in achieving their performance, and essential to any opera production. They are the ultimate multi-taskers of the opera world, and must be constantly alert to vocal performance, musicality, language, style and nuance, while bringing the whole orchestral score alive at the piano. No wonder so many of them go on to become great opera conductors – Georg Solti, Riccardo Muti, Valery Gergiev and Sir Antonio Pappano to name but four. This year the faculty includes the legendary 6LU5LFKDUG%RQ\QJH3DPHOD%XOORFN from Chicago Lyric Opera, -RQDWKDQ3DSS, Director of the Georg Solti Accademia di Bel Canto, $XGUH\+\ODQG from the Royal Academy of Music. -

Voice Types in Opera
Voice Types in Opera In many of Central City Opera’s educational programs, we spend some time explaining the different voice types – and therefore character types – in opera. Usually in opera, a voice type (soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, baritone, or bass) has as much to do with the SOUND as with the CHARACTER that the singer portrays. Composers will assign different voice types to characters so that there is a wide variety of vocal colors onstage to give the audience more information about the characters in the story. SOPRANO: “Sopranos get to be the heroine or the princess or the opera star.” – Eureka Street* “Sopranos always get to play the smart, sophisticated, sweet and supreme characters!” – The Great Opera Mix-up* A soprano is a woman’s voice type. There are many different kinds of sopranos within the general category: coloratura, lyric, and spinto are a few. Coloratura soprano: Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (Mozart): https://youtu.be/dpVV9jShEzU Lyric soprano: Mirella Freni as Mimi in La bohème (Puccini): https://youtu.be/yTagFD_pkNo Spinto soprano: Leontyne Price as Aida in Aida (Verdi): https://youtu.be/IaV6sqFUTQ4?t=1m10s MEZZO SOPRANO: “There are also mezzos with a lower, more exciting woman’s voice…We get to be magical or mythical characters and sometimes… we get to be boys.” – Eureka Street “Mezzos play magnificent, magical, mysterious, and miffed characters.” – The Great Opera Mix-up A mezzo soprano is a woman’s voice type. Just like with sopranos, there are different kinds of mezzo sopranos: coloratura, lyric, and dramatic. -
