Opera in a Nutshell for High School Instrumentalists
Since 2001, students from High Schools throughout the Tri-State area have participated in this intensive one day workshop. Opera in a Nutshell provides student instrumentalists with the extraordinary educational experience of preparing and performing opera with professional singers at the New York State Theater. Each season, two operas in the current repertoire are condensed to a 45 minute presentation led by a City Opera conductor and featuring City Opera’s mainstage singers, a narrator and musical excerpts played by the student orchestra.

High School Vocal Seminar
This four-day seminar for high school vocal students offers an intensive course in professional artistic development. The Vocal Seminar focuses on the art and skills of auditioning, and ranges in topics from how to enter the audition room to finding the character. This program is offered to a limited number of students, which provides each with individual time to work with a professional vocal coach. In addition, City Opera professionals will conduct seminars on movement, vocal technique, and acting. The seminar culminates with the participants singing for a panel of City Opera personnel and music teachers. This “mock audition” takes place on the stage of the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center.
