Class for Singers
Hunter College
Opera Theatre The Hunter College Opera Theatre provides
students the opportunity
to prepare and perform a
fully staged opera. The OPERA
PERFORMANCE class will
focus on creating a full
character profile through
staging and scene work designed to get
to the core of the character.
Exploration of relationship
between self and character
as well as character to character
will help the students integrate
the operatic role organically
and bring human experience
to life through self expression.
They will learn acting, style
and period movement as well
as ensemble coordination
with other singers and the
orchestra. The intended results
will be growth as acting
singers and increased depth
as interpretive artists.
The class will require additional rehearsal hours for acting
and staging. The average class will need 10 to 15 hours a week
to complete a project of this magnitude. Skills in stagecraft
such as costuming, set, props, wigs, and make-up will require
some of these hours. Rehearsals with orchestra with movement
also require extra time.
