with Saffron van Zwanenberg & Rosa Mannion

Three Day Course
Level: All
Fee: £315
Course No. 3288
Ensemble Course
During this extended weekend course, Rosa Mannion, Professor of Vocal Studies at the Royal College of Music, guides you through the vocal preparation of your pieces whilst experienced opera director, Saffron van Zwanenberg, directs you in a series of staged scenes culminating in a performance at the end of the course. They will also work together to help solve some of the problems of technique vs performance!
Repertoire – each participant should offer three suggestions of roles and one solo piece that they would like to explore. They will then work on their solo and an ensemble piece, which will be one of their suggested roles, where possible. To ensure that all participants have the opportunity to perform in an ensemble, a suitable and mutually agreeable alternative may need to be chosen.
