Perth's best-kept secret?
Thu, 19 June 2003, 01:12 pmMaybe not, but I for one haven't yet seen a posting here re: the Australian Opera Studio.
Singers of all types take note!
Based in Midland, AOS is a training ground for aspiring opera performers, both local and international. The two-year training program run by Gregory Yurisich and Michael Schouten includes singing, movement, acting and languages, with plenty of performance opportunities for the artists. As part of the curriculum, students do weekly masterclasses (most of which are free to the public, booked in advance), give recitals and do concert performances of various works.
AOS will be doing a concert performance of Don Giovanni at their Midland location this Friday and Sunday. Unfortunately for you it is already booked out, with a long waiting list.
On June 26th and 28th, AOS is doing fully-staged performances of Rossini's Tancredi at the Regal Theatre. The set, costumes and staging of this opera (directed by Anna Sweeney, with musical direction by Michael Schouten) is quite impressive, and the calibre of these young performers is extremely high. As a member of the chorus, I feel very privileged to be involved.
If you are not a big fan of "traditional opera" (even, maybe, if you are) this is for you. AOS is bringing opera to a wider audience by updating the classics and stressing the importance of acting ability as a conduit for the emotion of the music.
