Opera is for everyone!
Who says opera and musical theater are reserved for the musical elite? Not us! Opera and musical theater are for everyone, including you! Join us this spring for a production of small ensembles exploring repertoire from Operetta. We want to make some music magic with you!
Coll'Opera was such a beautiful and rewarding experience. I loved working with my teacher, the director, and my cast mates. I'm excited to keep improving my singing skills and join another show!

Sing it out!
Participants are given repertoire for scenes and chorus numbers. During musical rehearsals each scene is guided by a Voice Lab faculty member and collaborative pianist. You'll be challenged and supported as you learn and perfect your music with your scene mates. |
Act it out!
In addition to musical rehearsals, participants receive staging direction and acting guidance from Voice Lab partners. Create a truly dynamic performance with thoughtful connection to your character and interpretation of your music. |
