Opera Intensive - ages 11 and up

This class provides a unique opportunity for students of this age group. It will culminate in a performance of an entire Opera “The Marriage of Figaro” in Italian with English subtitles (all arias and ensemble numbers) and English (all recitatives will be spoken in English rather than sung in Italian). This will make it more palatable for young students with a more manageable performance length. The performances are set for the final weekend of Piccolo Spoleto Festival 2026 on June 6th and 7th. The Opera will be performed at the Parish Hall of St. Matthews Lutheran Church downtown with full costumes, scenery and live musicians. There will be a mandatory dress rehearsal on June 5th at the downtown location. The regular class sessions will take place at our main studio in Mt. Pleasant. Students will work on vocal technique, Italian and English diction, acting techniques, character development, period ballroom style dancing, stage etiquette and more.

The classes meet every Sunday from 2pm-4pm from January 25th - June 7th.
