Opera Queensland - Professional Partnership

We are thrilled with our professional partnership with Opera Queensland, which includes viewing performances, workshops and feedback from industry professionals.

 

Kylie Los from Opera Queensland worked with Campo della Voci this week on their repertoire for upcoming performances this Term.  They worked on vocal techniques, diction and expressive devices.  

 

On Tuesday afternoon, our musical cast participated in a masterclass with Opera Queensland’s, Jessica Low. The students worked with Jessica Low and were delighted with the valuable advice given for their performance.

This week, our leads will receive tuition from musical director, Nick House.  Nick is a former teacher at Clayfield College and is currently living and working in the UK with artists. He has previously been employed by exam boards as an examiner and moderator, examining for GCSE and A-Level (years 11 and 13) composition coursework for Edexcel, a major examining body in the UK.
