Opera Singing can be great fun. This workshop will guide you through the essentials and will introduce you to some fun stories and characters from famous operas and operettas. The operetta is a precursor of the modern musical. The main difference between the two genres is that most operettas can be described as light operas with acting, whereas most musicals are plays with singing. You will learn a simple aria or chorus from an opera such as such as H.M.S Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance or The Mikado and watch how different performers interpret the piece.
