High School Apprentice Masterclass

Last night, Madison Opera's 2009-2010 High School Apprentices gathered in Morphy Hall at UW-Madison for a masterclass with soprano Julia Faulkner.This year's apprentices hail from Oregon High School, River Valley High School, Madison East and Madison West High Schools. Throughout our season, they have been attending rehearsals and performances, and meeting with guest artists to learn more about opera, from the page to the stage. The masterclass is the culminating event of the apprenticeship, and as with last year's, it was a thrill to hear these young singers perform and learn from Professor Faulkner. The program included a range of material, from Cesti to Barber, and it's safe to say everyone rose to the occasion. Here are some pictures from the event:
