An Exploration of Operatic recitative, arias and ensemble with Suzanne Murphy. These classes will cover the interpretation of operatic recitatives and arias already prepared by the students, and an introduction to wider repertoire as appropriate to each singer.
Classes are tailored to the individual needs and development rates of the students with attention to performance details such as posture, presentation, clarity of text, communication, and stage technique incorporated in these classes.
Operatic ensembles will also be prepared and built up into scenes from the operas studied analysing the characters’ history and interrelationships, and Suzanne will encourage students to explore work together.
