Masterclasses at Opera-Studios

The challenge for young singers and pianists in opera studios is, among other things, to intelligently and confidently integrate the input of various guest instructors into their own singing and playing. I am fortunate to work regularly with the young singers and pianists of several opera studios, thereby ensuring a certain degree of continuity.

•  Internationales Opernstudio der Oper Zürich (IOS)
•  Opernstudio Oper Frankfurt
•  Opera Academy Teatr Wielki Warszawa
•  OperAvenir Basel
•  Opéra de Paris
•  Staatsoper Berlin

My teaching has as its technical foundations flexible, flowing breath, a slender method of vocalization, and sensible employment of the resonance cavities.

The goal is to create a stable technical framework for complete „artistic permeability,“ which will allow the singer to be free in their artistic and musical interpretations and for them to enjoy a healthy and long-term pursuit of our highly demanding profession.

Masterclasses & Exzellenz Labor
