I have been in China the past few days and working to bring students to the summer Master Class workshop in Verona, Italy.
I have been in China the past few days and working to bring students to the summer Master Class workshop in Verona, Italy.
I have spoken to ex-students and others, and it is clear they are thirsty for quality coaching and further education in preparation for the chance to sing opera. There are several 'opera centers' in China, but all run by people who have very little or no Western linguistic background.
How can you teach students in diction, style, context, and syntax when you do not speak the language yourself?
I am hopeful that more internationally oriented opera centers can help Chinese singers to accelerate their growth in what is necessary to have a career.
