Blue Danube International Opera Conducting Masterclass 2024 (I)

Probably the Best Training in Opera Conducting in the World! We've helped hundreds of conductors with the challenges and fine points of opera conducting since 2002. Why work with one or two pianos or a chamber ensemble, when you can conduct and collaborate with a professional opera house's orchestra, choir, vocal soloists, stage directors, pianists, choir master, ballet master, dancers and choreographers from day one? Our first of two masterclasses in 2024 features Maestro Niels Muus of Vienna coaching 8 qualified conductors in rehearsals and public performances of Verdi's Il Trovatore and Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers) -- each fully-staged and costumed and sung in their original languages. Conductors have separate orchestra and choir rehearsals, stage and cast rehearsals, Sitzproben (soloists and choir seated on stage with the orchestra in the pit), dress rehearsals and performances.The house's ballet division performs in both operas. Early application recommended!
