Singing conductor Irène Kudela takes the audience behind the scenes of the vocal work of opera singers. It's fascinating work that you rarely get to witness. You will discover how an artist is coached to reach the pinnacle of his or her art. This work requires a seasoned ear, because singers often need an external ear and eye to learn their role and advance in their repertoire. The conductor ensures that the text is correct and pronounced, but also that the spirit in which the score was written is maintained.
The theme of this year's Masterclass is embodying an operatic character.
Irène Kudela is a renowned conductor who has been invited by some of the world's leading opera houses and opera festivals. She trains young conductors and singers at the Paris Opera, the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and the National Opera Studio in London.
