Voice

VOice

The voice program offers a custom-made program for advanced voice students, aged 18 years and over and young professionals. The program allows participants to develop or deepen repertoire of their choice, in any style or language, particularly during private lessons and rehearsals with piano. The workshops with Alexandre and Benoit Dratwicki will focus primarily on the interpretation of French repertoire and style, as well as the preparation of opera scenes. During these workshops, participants will be called upon to seek the differences and to master the various facets that characterize the French style.
