Opera High Specialization Master Class (for Singers and Conductors)

Teacher: Maestro Bruno Rigacci.

The goal of this masterclass is the deepening of the vocal, stylistic, dramatical and interpretational features evident in the Operatic works of the Italian Composers, G. Rossini, G. Donizetti, G. Verdi and G. Puccini. Mr. Rigacci will focus particular attention on the relationship between the singers and the conductors.

Bruno Rigacci is one of the most representative musicians in the international musical world today. As a composer he has written chamber music, symphonies, concertos and five operas, winning many awards. He has also enjoyed a successful career as a conductor and specializes in the Operas of the 19th and 20th century. He has worked in some of the most important theaters and with some of the most prestigious singers all over the world. Everywhere, he receives unanimous praise and appreciation for his particular capacity to find and mold voices by directing them to the most effective repertoire. His successful criteria for selecting repertoire includes his attention to the interpretation of the music, to the interaction with the orchestra and to the pure vocal technique.

This Master Class aims to encourage singers to journey deeper into the
knowledge of the four most important Italian Opera Composers: G. Rossini, G. Donizetti, G. Verdi and G. Puccini. These works represent the top of the culture for the melodrama.

During the course, Bruno Rigacci will lead the study into the core of
their compositional style, in particular their musical dramaturgy and
their vocal practice. By the end of the course, mastery of these studied
