HGO Studio: Where Great Talents Become Great Performers: December 2008
http://houstongrandopera.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2008. So you want to hold a masterclass. What is a masterclass anyway? The basic format is that a select group of young artists perform and coach their repertoire with an established professional in their field – all with their peers looking on and listening. How the master professionals choose to use the time is anything but basic. What kind of learning atmosphere will they create? What boundaries will they establish for themselves in terms of what or what not to say? It varied from...

HGO Studio: Where Great Talents Become Great Performers: October 2009
http://houstongrandopera.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Around week 4 of the program, I got the incredible opportunity to rehearse with the main cast of L’Elisir. I am performing the role of Nemorino in the student matinees and high school night performances of L’Elisir, but I got to jump in and get my feet wet in what is a new role for me, with the best possible situation.

HGO Studio: Where Great Talents Become Great Performers: Circles of Life
http://houstongrandopera.blogspot.com/2010/10/circles-of-life.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. Monday morning I entered that hallway and as I started my commute through the building, I laughed aloud. Yes, I was THAT excited to go to work. Crazy, right? We started production on the project I've been looking forward to since spring, Peter Grimes. Then production begins and preparation is put into practice. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

HGO Studio: Where Great Talents Become Great Performers: Opera pianists are actors
http://houstongrandopera.blogspot.com/2010/02/opera-pianists-are-actors.html
Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Opera pianists are actors. Opera pianists are actors, and the role we play is that of an. All of that preparation is vital yet abstract. Ultimately we are. Not imitating notes on a page, nor digital music from a speaker, but the. Live sound of a great orchestra in a grand hall. Fortunately, as an HGO. Studio member I get to hear the HGO orchestra in many rehearsals and. Performances in the Brown Theater. Everything I hear in those sessions. To the full violin section? Different...

HGO Studio: Where Great Talents Become Great Performers: March 2010

Tuesday, March 2, 2010. The HGO Studio / Wolf Trap connection. On reading Kim Wittman’s blog posting here a couple of weeks ago, I have to admit that my first reaction was one of envious amazement that she has time to write posts for OTHER PEOPLE! It’s impressive enough that she’s such a religious poster on her own blog, considering the many varied demands on her time, surely she can leave my blog alone and stop making me look bad…. Midsummer Night’s Dream. And Il turco in Italia. For those of you who ar...

HGO Studio: Where Great Talents Become Great Performers: November 2008
http://houstongrandopera.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. I've just finished my week of alternate cast performances of. Although this show may not be considered a well-known opera, it's a show and a role (Ursule) that I've wanted to work on for a long time. I first fell in love with. And, that day came last Tuesday! We sang three shows for packed houses of the most energetic audiences I have sung for in my life: two (early! It was so much fun to hear them "Ooo! I also have to say that putting this character together was a great lea...

Friday, March 27, 2009. Keystrokes with the Maestro. About a month ago, we HGO Studio pianists. Received some exciting and slightly scary news. We were going to get three conducting coachings with HGO Music Director Patrick Summers. We had only a few weeks to come in ready to conduct, play, and sing through Acts II and III of Rigoletto. It was an enormous amount of music to learn amidst other major projects, such as learning an entirely new opera, Previn’s Brief Encounter. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
