Preparing a Role
with Phillip Thomas
Thursday 24 – Sunday 27 August 2017
Three Day Course
Level: All
Fee: £300
Course No. 3242
Solo Study Course
Through Phillip’s extensive work with singers and opera companies, his knowledge of the repertoire and the demands involved in preparing a full role are unmatched. Bring a role you would like to work on and immerse yourself for this longer weekend, which will be filled with advice on how to start, what to focus on, timescales as well as a closer look at the character and their musical identity.
You do not need to have prepared the full role just have a good grasp of some of the music and a working knowledge of the rest. Repetiteurs are also welcome to attend.
Please submit your repertoire three weeks in advance.
