Vocal Technique Course for Lyrical Singers

Mock Auditions with Gayletha Nichols from the Metropolitan Opera, NY

Gayletha Nichols is the Director of the Metropolitan Opera National
Council Auditions (MONC). In this class, Ms. Nichols will conduct mock
auditions in which each student will have the opportunity to present
their repertory “package” in an audition setting and get feedback on
their presentation.

Ms. Nichols joined the artistic staff of the Metropolitan Opera in the
fall of 2000 as Executive Director of the National Council Auditions.
She brought to the Met two decades of experience as a singer, teacher
and career advisor. From 1992-2000, she was Director of Houston
Opera Studio, the young artist development program at Houston Grand
Opera, where she created and individualized the training both for
singers and pianists. During the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 seasons, she was director of both the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program and MONC. Ms. Nichols auditions hundreds of singers across North America every year and in her travels addresses many universities,
conservatories, and festivals on developing the next generation of
opera singers. She is a frequent adjudicator in national and
international competitions and consults for other young artist
programs across the country.

The mock auditions will take place at the Accademia Europea di Firenze in June and November and the AEF will organize a concert. After a pre-selection from the AEF's staff, Ms. Nichols will come from New York to conduct her mock auditions course and for the final selection of the singers that will actually perform at this concert.

Costs:
For students who are studying for at least 3 months (minimum course 12IM2), the cost will be 200 euro. For all the other students, the cost will be 600 euro, taking into consideration the amount of seats available.
