The Banff Centre

Opera as Theatre

Opera As Theatre focuses on the artists’ acquisition and integration of essential music and theatre skills, necessary for every young professional singer, in order to prepare, rehearse, and perform successfully in a full-scale mainstage opera. Under the guidance of leading theatre and music pedagogues, artists will engage in an intense musical and dramatic investigation of a master work. They will learn and apply new ideas and approaches to acting and movement, while emphasizing the importance of body alignment, breath, diction, and speech in reliable and consistent opera performance practice. more…
