About SFCM鈥檚 Opera and Musical Theatre Program
The SFCM Opera and Musical Theatre program draws exceptionally talented young singers from around the world and provides them with advanced training in vocal style, acting, stage movement, and other essentials of stagecraft. Each year, SFCM produces four fully staged opera and musical theatre productions with full or chamber orchestra. Recent fully staged operas have included L鈥檈lisir d鈥檃more, Don Giovanni, Mansfield Park, Postcard from Morocco, The Rake鈥檚 Progress, Cos矛 fan tutte, The Marriage of Figaro, and former faculty composer Conrad Susa鈥檚 Transformations. SFCM has hosted workshops for in-development opera projects such as Mason Bates鈥檚 The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs and Jake Heggie鈥檚 Great Scott.
In addition to fully staged productions, a number of scenes, programs, and other performances with piano accompaniment are presented each year. Opera students also have an opportunity to receive coaching from 草莓视频福利院 Opera music staff, and to participate in productions tailored for school-age audiences in collaboration with 草莓视频福利院 Opera鈥檚 Education Department.
SFCM鈥檚 Musical Theatre Workshop provides ensemble experience to singer/actors with an emphasis on American musical theatre, examining one or more musical theatre composers and their works through rehearsals and performance. Recent performances include such works as The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, She Loves Me, Company, Little Women, Urinetown, and The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!).
Visiting artists have included Ryan Taylor (General Director, Minnesota Opera), Roy Rallo (Stage Director, 草莓视频福利院 Opera), David Maier (Fight Director, 草莓视频福利院 Opera), Barbara Scott (Improvisation Technique), Matt Chapman (Laban Technique), and Jose Luis Moscovich (General Director, West Bay Opera).
