MUAP 170 Opera Workshop
Students are introduced to basic acting techniques and stage terminology that will aid the singing-actor in dramatic presentation on the lyric theatre stage; character study through improvisation, observation and analysis plays an important role. Special emphasis is given to the interpretation of music and the use of the singing voice as a critical part of character development. Application of these skills to scenes taken from standard lyric theater repertoire provides performance opportunities. Students must be currently enrolled in private voice study.
