Music Theater Bavaria
I will teach and present master classes at the Music Theater Bavaria summer program. Below is a description of this unique and comprehensive program:
Training in voice, acting, dance, movement and song interpretation.With this unique German influence at its core, Music Theater Bavaria offers the combination of a culturally enriching study abroad experience and a serious professional training program in which students choose an emphasis in either opera or musical theater. At MTB you’ll spend the month of July working with a focused group of talented students and excellent, experienced teaching faculty who are committed to making the maximum possible impact on your performance readiness in a period of four weeks.
You’ll perform and you'll study voice, acting, dance, movement, German, audition skills, working in the German-speaking countries, and more, as you experience life in the beautiful Bavarian Alps. Most students are in college or graduate school, but may also be young professionals who desire to train at MTB in preparation for auditioning in the German-speaking countries. Although we work intensively Monday through Friday, most weekends are free for travel and relaxation. Music Theater Bavaria is designed as a premium study abroad experience for a limited group of up to about 26 singers, with a very low student/faculty ratio.
