On Sunday, May 3, the Florentine Opera held our annual High School Masterclass at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. Out of 27 who applied for the program, six young vocalists were invited to perform and received coachings from Florentine Opera artistic Staff. General Director William Florescu taught the class.
Coachings began in the weeks leading up to the class:

When the big day arrived, each of the students chosen to perform had the opportunity to sing a selection and receive feedback. An audience of over 40 students, staff, family and friends watched the class. If you missed it, don’t worry – you’ll be able to catch our Masterclass students at Opera In The Courtyard this summer!
