SINGERS GET THE CHANCE TO PERFORM WITH OPERA NORTH
The Sing ON
workshop will be led by a professional music leader from the Leeds-based opera
company who will guide the participants through excerpts from La Traviata,
Don Giovanni and Aida among others. They will then get a unique
insight into being part of an operatic ensemble by singing alongside the Chorus
of Opera North for the final hour. There is no requirement to read music or to
have any previous singing experience and the event is suitable for adult singers
of all abilities.
Jacqui
Cameron, Opera North Education Director, said:
“We love being able to offer people exciting
creative activities. This one should be a particularly unforgettable experience
as the participants will get the chance to perform with, and hear the amazing power
of, professionally-trained voices up close.
“Our events are open to everyone and we aim
to make them as friendly and welcoming as possible. We hope that everyone who
takes part will experience the pleasure that comes with group singing and will leave
with a real sense of achievement having mastered some opera.”
The event is
part of Opera North’s week-long residency at The Lowry where it is performing
three operas: La bohème, Puccini’s heart-breaking tale of young
love set amongst a group of bohemians in Paris; Giulio Cesare, Handel’s
take on the passionate relationship between Caesar and Cleopatra; and Martinů’s
The Greek Passion which explores the fate of a group of
refugees when they arrive in a village as the residents prepare for their
annual Passion Play.
The Sing ON
workshop at The Lowry runs from noon to 4pm on Friday 15 November with tickets
available at £15 each from www.operanorth.co.uk/whats-on/sing-on-greater-manchester/
