2012 Season - Falstaff
American Singers' Opera Project, 2012 will produce Verdi's Falstaff, in Italian with large ensembles in English.

We will offer daily movement classes, as well as classes in acting, Make-up, audition techniques, Vocal Health and Opera History. There is also one-on-one coaching with opera professionals, nightly Master Classes, Master Classes on French repertoire, African American Art Song, and crossover. There is also an Aria Evening so that everyone has a chance to shine!
