What kind of singer should come
to the Florence Voice Seminar?

  • the professional singer seeking to refine or improve his/her technique, presentation, musicality, audition skills
  • the advanced university student looking for a quality summer program that combines intense study with unbeatable location
  • the young singer studying privately, looking for more feedback and searching for the next step in his/her career
  • any singer willing to work hard towards improvement.

What repertoire do I need?

  • Bring 3-4 arias/songs to work on. Two should be close to performance-ready, and others can be new repertoire that you are trying out.
  • Being in Italy, we try to concentrate on Italian repertoire, but not exclusively.
  • Bring at least one piece with an Italian recitative (Mozart, Donizetti, Bellini, Rossini)

Ensembles

  • There will be ensembles from opera and oratorio for those who express an interest in taking part in one. Those participating in an ensemble must arrive in Florence with their parts completely memorized (off-book).

 
MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT: 35 SINGERS
