NYC Opera College Series of lectures called "Life on stage" will tackle the following topics: Singing when tired or sick: This is a reality for every single singer when having to sing an audition or important masterclass while tired or sick, to singing a major debut, to having to attend a rehearsal while very jet-lagged. We believe that for our singers to be prepared for life in the opera world, we must pass the knowledge of our career singers on faculty on how to deal with t...hese tricky and stressful moments, as well as come and have guests come and give their tips and answer questions. Rehearsal and Theater work Etiquette: Our Singers on faculty as well as guests will give talks and discuss the topic of rehearsals in theaters etc, at length. The hierarchy in the rehearsal room can be tricky to navigate, and yet is extremely important. How to relate and work with conductors, Directors, as well as anyone in between such as the costume department, and coaches is important terrain to know your way around. How to plan to warm up and what to do when there is no time, and more. We will feature special guest appearances from conductors, Agents, and other professional singers to educate our students and singers with the knowledge that is vital for their success on the road, and with their colleagues.
