Opera Workshop

 

Led by Dr. Vicki Fingalson Madison, Opera Workshop provides performance-based instruction in opera, operetta, and musical theatre. Students develop and improve their performance skills through:

• theatre games 
• observations 
• discussions
• improvisations 
• rehearsing, preparing, and performing selected scenes and full-length operas
• attending live, professional opera (often with complimentary tickets!)

Every other year, the UW-Superior Opera Workshop prepares a full-length opera for the campus and community. Recent performances include:

• Gilbert & Sullivan's Trial by Jury 
• Mozart's The Magic Flute 
• Franz Lehar's The Merry Widow 
• Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado 

In years when full-length operas are not performed, students do two or three scenes performances, with the opportunity to perform a leading role in at least one scene each semester.

Please contact Dr. Vicki Fingalson Madison if you are interested in auditioning for Opera Workshop. Students of any major may audition!
