I have been accepted to a summer opera program to sing in France!
It has been one of my biggest dreams to visit Paris and SING in an opera there. Working with the Franco-American Vocal Academy is a once in a life time opportunity, and a huge stepping stone in my career as an opera singer.
THE PROGRAM
The program runs for about 6 weeks from July 1st to August 15th with performances in Paris and Périgueux. In these 6 weeks I will be given at least 4 performance opportunities: 2 performances as Agamemnon and 2 French art song recital/concert appearances. I will also have the opportunity to receive voice lessons, coachings, role preparation, study the french language, and master classes.
THE COST
The total cost of this trip is $5500 and includes tuition, lodging and airfare.
This is where you come in. If you have a love for opera as I do, then there is nothing more rewarding than investing in the future generation of talented opera singers, and therefore the future of opera. Just as it is important to cultivate a younger audience for this art form, we must also invest in young singers as well to ensure it is around for years to come. On the other hand, if you ever just wanted to kick me out of the country for a while... Here's your chance!!
If you would like to contribute in person, I would love for you to come and support me in one or all of my recitals I will be having in the near future in the San Antonio and Waco area to help off set the cost. I will be posting these dates here and on Facebook soon once I get the details ironed out.
THANK YOU!!
I cannot express how greatful I am that you have taken the time to learn and hopefully invest in my dream! God bless!
