Young artists have a chance to train with opera professionals Sharon and Arturo Spinetti, Henry G. Akina, Beebe Freitas, and Dorothy Randall, during Hawaii Opera Theatre's summer program being held from July 14-25. For the first two weeks students will concentrate on repertoire and presentation and then focus on dramatic exercises, character development and scenic technique in the final week. Each week will culminate in a performance event. Ending the first week will be a performance by the Spinettis. A recital by the masterclass participants will end the second week, and an informal presentation by workshop participants will conclude the third week.
Scholarships are available.
