- Work your new roles and repertoire in private and coached sessions with first-rate répétiteurs who have special linguistic and stylistic competencies multiple times weekly.

- Conductor Coaching: One-hour lessons with a conductor to learn how to meld personal interpretation and preparation with the realities of performance with orchestra.
- Legacy Masterclass: We are in the process of contracting with guest faculty whose careers have already written them into opera history as great and role-defining players in the world of opera. These Masterclasses will be open to the public and formal events.
