MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTOR
Announces the 2010 OPERA
WORKSHOP CARMEN FLAMENCO! based on
the opera by Bizet and in association with Arte Flamenco Spanish Dance
Company, DON GIOVANNI by Mozart, and a double bill of VIVA ESPANA! Zarzuela
Madness and LA VIDA BREVE by de Falla – A program of extraordinary operas
with great opportunities for role study, performances and career advancement. Greetings from Summer
Opera Lyric Theatre! SOLT proudly announces the 2010 Opera Workshop, a unique
educational program whose main goal is to recreate the professional
interpretative process with a special focus on the lyric theatre. Such issues
as character development, the creative impulse, acting techniques and stage
movement get revisited and in some cases, looked at for the first time. The
Opera Workshop begins on Sunday, June 13 and will conclude on Sunday, August
8, 2010. During the course of this eight-week period all participating
artists will have been involved with dramatic discussions, music and staging
rehearsals and a series of Master Classes touching on important aspects of a
singer’s career. These eight weeks of intensive work culminate in a series of
performances showcasing not only the artists’ talent but also their work in
appealing repertoire. The Summer Opera Lyric
Theatre 2010 Opera Workshop offers you an opportunity to spend the summer days
in an enjoyable way that is both challenging and rewarding. Many past SOLT
alumni have benefited from the Opera Workshop through a ‘fine- tuning’ of
technical and interpretative skills and an expansion of repertoire in a
career that demands great versatility. SOLT has produced the Opera Workshop
since 1986 and for twenty-three years has nurtured, developed and promoted
the careers of hundreds of Canadian singers. Previous participating artists
such as Marc Boucher, Jennifer Chamandy, Frédérique Vézina, Joshua Hopkins,
David Pomeroy, Eric Shaw, Joseph Kaiser, Nora Sourouzian, Michele
Bogdanowicz, Krisztina Szabo, Keith Kl;assen and Katherine Whyte are at
present enjoying national and international careers. Please take a look at
the SOLT information for the summer of 2010 and make an appointment for an
audition either in Montreal or Toronto at your earliest convenience. Do not
hesitate to call should you need further information on the program’s
objectives and fees, schedules, our roster of lecturers and Master Classes. Auditions will be held
