Finally in Italy a Real Masterclass based on the preparation of the complete singer . We took inspiration from the most prestigious American schools in the drafting of the Masterclass program that we are proposing singing as the principal material, combined with a number of complementary disciplines through a learning path which leads to the preparation of the Opera Singer to be ready to go on stage. During the Masterclass the technical and interpretative aspects of the operatic repertoire will be addressed singularly, with emphasis on stage presence, often overlooked in traditional academic training. Our teaching staff is composed of highly qualified professionals, with extensive experience in the world of opera, in important European theaters and opera festivals and as coach of famous opera singers. In the charming town of Bassano del Grappa, close to places that have given birth to singers like Marcella Pobbe, Aureliano Pertile, Giovanni Martinelli, in the homeland of Bel Canto, our team offers you programs on Vocal Coach, Coach Craft, Performance Coach, Business Coach and Career Coach. This synergy of "coaching" allows you to make the learning process fast and effective. The goals are focused on the initial level of the student, and are tailored to their needs. The ultimate goal is to accompany the student through strategies of action that will allow to improve the quality of his professional life and that of his artistic career. The course is directed to opera singers who want to develop and refine their technical and interpretive performance, trying to analyze and solve various problems associated with it. The course includes individual and group lessons with teachers Caterina Galiotto, Eva Zwedberg and Simone Pacchiele. The Master Class Performance for Opera singers will be developed through individual and collective lessons with piano, and through operative workshops in the classroom.
