Intermezzo’s High School Performance Program is designed to provide talented high school vocalists with a nurturing atmosphere in which to train and perform as preparation to a professional career in the performing arts. Whether you are preparing to audition for college voice and opera programs or have ambitions to perform on the Broadway stage, this program will nurture your talents and perfect your technique through daily voice lessons, coachings, body movement, lyrical diction and audition classes.
Daily Schedule:
Your day will begin at 10:00 each morning with movement and acting classes, voice lessons, English and Italian diction and vocal coachings to prepare for performances. After lunch you will have daily master classes conducted by our internationally recognized faculty, including members of the Metropolitan Opera, nationally recognized voice teachers, vocal coaches and stage directors. Following these classes you will have the opportunity to be onstage preparing for our final opera and musical theater performances. Evenings will be free for performances.
Staged Performances:
Each participant will be assigned both leading and secondary roles in advance of your arrival in Palm Beach. Once you arrive our faculty will provide lessons, coachings and musical rehearsals prior to the first staging rehearsals. The final performances will be the culmination of this work and will be presented on stage in a public performance.
Recitals & Master Classes:
In addition to the staged performances each participant will perform on daily master classes. Upon arrival you will be assigned to small groups to ensure that all participants receive ample performance opportunities. Recitals will also be presented throughout the program. Repertoire will be assigned prior to your arrival.
