Johanna Meier Opera Theatre Institute
June 14-27, 2009

The Johanna Meier Opera Theatre Institute offers multi-level instruction for varying stages of performance development.  Through concentrated study in a supportive environment and intensive individual attention offered by a nationally renowned faculty and an ensemble atmosphere, student camaraderie develops, as well as an important understanding of and rapport with colleagues, coaches, and those in charge of opera production.  Classes in this professionally rewarding program meet six days a week in preparation for a series of public performances.   Participants in the program are urged to stretch creative potential with emphasis on individual expression.

“The Summer Institute offers teaching and coaching by the distinguished faculty of the international artists. Their collective experience exposes their students to the necessary and key elements in positive steps to a career in the Arts. This program has my highest recommendation.”

"I enjoyed the program very much. I think it offers good opportunities. It allows students the experience of doing an opera scene without overwhelming them with an entire opera. It is a good stepping stone to get on the stage."
