Description

New production

Cast : Opernstudio der Bayerischen Staatsoper

In the season 2006/07 the Bayerische Staatsoper founded a new young artists program - the Opera Studio. This program supports highly talented young artists and prepares them for an international career in step with actual practice. Now under the new general manager Nikolaus Bachler this promotion of young artists continues to play an important role in the success of the Bayerische Staatsoper.

The Opera Studio program runs one to two seasons and consists of role studies, vocal lessons, acting and movement classes as well as language training. The young artists are cast for small roles in productions on the main stage and take part in several concert projects. They also work together with professional singers and conductors and have the opportunity to attend main stage rehearsals and performances. Workshops with staff members from different departments of the Staatsoper on subjects like career development complete the training program.

In addition, the Opernstudio members study and perform one complete opera each season. The past seasons, Mozart’s Così fan tutte Rossini's La Cenerentola, Haydn's La fedeltà premiata, Leoš Janáček's The Cunning Little Vixen, Hans Werner Henze's Elegy for Young Lovers, Mirandolina by Bohuslav Martinů, Gioachino Rossini's Le Comte Ory and Benjamin Britten's Albert Herring were premièred at the Cuvilliés Theatre. This season The Consul will be performed.
