Master classes are compact workshops where renowned artists dedicate themselves to the training of emerging talents. Over the course of three days, the subtleties of expression and singing techniques of various musical styles are taught – because, after all, it takes more than good notes to achieve credible and moving performances on stage. Every step, every response, every breath is important. Combining this professional presence with technique and beautiful singing needs a great deal of practice! One opportunity to watch the voices of the State Opera’s International Opera Studio from up close is offered by the public master classes at the Opera House. At the following “Meet the artist” at Lavesfoyer, you might have a drink from the bar and enjoy an informal chat with the artists.
