Our year-round ROLE (Repertory Onstage Learning Experience) Institute offers one-of-a-kind programs crafted to foster the complete artist. Our dedication to each artist's education and development include rehearsal, coaching, masterclasses, and performance opportunities.  Our programs gives you the opportunity to learn, coach, study, rehearse and perform operatic repertoire with emphasis on building a character.  The performances are with piano accompaniment, semi-staged with some props and costumes. 

Singers of all levels are encouraged to participate.

​

You can choose the study of a complete role or individual acts. A separate program is offered just for the Dramatic voice to focus on the challenges for that particular singer. Each program culminates in a live performance which will be videotaped and you will receive a copy for your use.
