Learn how to conduct and sing Italian Opera following traditions. Limited Availability. Enroll Now.

The Masterclass will be given by Conductor Simone Fermani, direct descendant of Giuseppe Verdi and Giuseppina Strepponi, Guest Conductor at State Opera and Ballet Theatre “Natalia Sats” of Moscow, Conductor and Professor of Conducting and Sight Reading at Conservatory of Milan.

Italian Opera is rich of traditions. Many of the wonderful arias, duetti, concertati or scenes include elements not written in the score, but anyway requested when conducting or singing.

Rallentando, accelerando, fermata when not required, different pitches or lines to sing are just some examples of the differences between what is requested to perform and what is actually printed on the score.

This is because Italian Opera has always been a living thing. Where modifications happen in no time, due to stage director requests or for other different reasons and the conductor and the singer should be ready to adapt as quickly as possible to every sudden change.

A maximum of 10 active singers and 10 active conductors of any nationality will be selected and organised in collaborative groups in order to learn the traditional cooperation between the roles.

A final Certificate will be given to any active participant who attended all the masterclass days.
