Opera Program: Mozart's Così fan tutte.

Are you a daring Despina? A formidable Don Alfonzo? An infatuated Dorabella? A flip-flopping Fiordiligi?

Are you a fervent Ferrando, a gobsmacked Guillelmo?

​

Mozart's Così fan tutte is a marvelous and mischievous comedy that will lift your skills and spirits. Our semi-staging will encompass full character development, and important foundational stage skills without compromising your process within a comparatively brief three-week program. COSI is about training you toward a professional standard, and build you in your personal power of achievement so you are ready to present yourself in auditions, and in full productions.

The Opera Scenes Program is training-rich. It matches your strengths and elevates your areas for growth with richly fulfilling experiences and encouragement. We ideally customize your opportunities for learning in singing, staging, character development and stage interaction. Within a relatively brief three-week program, semi-staging with essential, purposeful, and well-honed movement is vital in building what you can know and do for sure, rather than rushing and skimming. Here you can safely and effectively put it all together in the performing moment - in ways you will remember. You will be immersed in the environment of time, care, tools and inspiration - to flourish.  Each COSI faculty member has been specifically chosen because of their renowned success in nurturing singers to their best, and beyond what they have know as their best so far.
