Voice, Opera and Musical Theatre Specialization
The Voice, Opera and Musical Theatre Specialization is designed for music students with a combined interest in voice and vocal stage performances with an emphasis on opera, art song, choral repertoire, and musical theatre. Opera and Musical Theatre scenes programs are performed each semester, and vocal recitals are presented on a regular basis throughout each academic year. The Department of Fine Arts annually produces a full opera and/or musical theatre production in the University’s Broad Center for the Performing Arts. In addition to voice and music core courses, recommended supplementary courses are offered in languages, acting, dance, and conducting.
