What's all the Yelling About?: A Look at Opera from the Inside 

Maestro Gregory Buchalter of the Metropolitan Opera gave the inside scoop about what really goes on in an opera house!  THIS WAS A FREE PROGRAM FOR GRADES 4 AND UP at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Salisbury Theatre.

 

MASTER CLASS 

Opera Fairbanks presented MAESTRO GREGORY BUCHALTER 

of the METROPOLITAN OPERA in a Master Class

at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Salisbury Theatre.

 

Maestro Buchalter discussed audition preparation, a conductor's expectations for professional vocalists, and his experiences working with opera companies around the world, including the Metropolitan Opera.

 

Seven (7) individual vocalists received intensive coaching during the Master Class.  Individual participation was allowed on a first-come basis only.  Participants registered and paid a $25 participation fee in advance to reserve a space.  Participants were prepared to sing three (3) arias in contrasting styles and languages. Members of the public were invited to observe - with a suggested donation of $10.
