ABOUT
Season One
We invite aspiring opera singers to join us in our studios within His Majesty’s Theatre. Whether your singing experience is in the privacy of your own home or as a seasoned chorister we invite you to spend 8 weeks with us and experience what the life of a classical singer entails.
Soprano and workshop leader, Lisa Harper-Brown will lead you in a fully immersive singing experience in a warm, supportive environment that is sure to also have you singing with a smile. Lisa will introduce you to the world of classical singing and a professional insight into best practice and vocal technique.
This season’s repertoire includes the Barcarolle/Belle nuit, o nuit d’amor from Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann, the dramatic Va Pensiero, commonly known as the Slaves Chorus from Verd’s Nabucco and the classic Danny Boy.
Choose to participate at either the Adagio or Allegro level and prepare to let your voice soar!
The cost of the series is $230 which includes 8 classes.
