Masterclasses at Opera-Studios

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

•  Internationales Opernstudio der Oper Zürich (IOS)
•  Opernstudio Oper Frankfurt
• Opera Academy Teatr Wielki Warszawa

Furthermore I give masterclasses for the Académie de l’Opéra de Paris, Staatsoper Hannover, Bolshoi Theatre Young Artists Opera Program, and others.

The technical foundations of my teaching are flexible, flowing breath, a slender method of vocalization, and a sensible employment of the resonance cavities.

The goal is to have created 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

Hedwig Fassbender regularly gives masterclasses in conservatories, summer academies, and opera studios across Europe – including in her own program, the »Exzellenz-Labor Gesang«. In the Excellence Laboratory‘s  Opera workshop, participants receive technical, musical, body awareness, and mental training in one-on-one and »team teaching« settings.

Masterclasses 2020

Due to my intense work with the international Opera-Studios in Zürich, Frankfurt, Detmold, Warschau, Moskau, and Paris, there were two open Masterclasses planned in 2020:

„Exzellenz-Labor Gesang“ and Masterclass at Schloss Bückeburg (IMAS):

August 23 – September 2: Exzellenz-Labor Gesang

Center of the course is the work on musical style of German Repertoire, Mozart/Barock, Italian and French Belcanto with four internationally acclaimed instructors (Hedwig Fassbender, Fausto Nardi, Enrico Maria Cacciari, René Massis), and we also focus on Audition training with Mathias Hermann, Mental training with Petra Keßler, Feldenkrais with Rebecca Meitlis, advice in clothing and make-up with Amélie Sator and Nadja Akra.
