Act Too Studio's Opera Workshop is an educational performance group dedicated to providing teen sing
Act Too Studio Opera Workshop is an ongoing, student-driven educational arts project with performances throughout the year, including a fully-staged opera each summer. Our growing workshop includes students between the ages of 13-19 at varying levels of vocal development, musical skill, and experience. Works are chosen with those factors in mind, and though this work is intended to be performed f
or the community, the focus of the workshop itself is very process-heavy. In order to bring their work to performance level, students are guided through deep musical and theatrical analysis of everything they do, along with study of the work’s cultural and historical context. This summer, Act Too Studio Opera Workshop presents the works of 17th-century composer Claudio Monteverdi in a full-length, original narrative crafted especially for its teen singers, woven from excerpts from his operas, madrigals, and other works, performed at Northampton's beautiful, historic opera house, The Academy of Music. Participation in Act Too Studio’s teen Opera Workshop is available to the studio’s advanced vocal students, ages 13-19, by invitation, and to students outside the studio by audition.
