Workshop “German for Opera Singers” explores Vocabulary of Theater and Stage Direction.
If you cannot prevent Lampenfieber, learn what it means: It’s the fever the spotlights give you when you enter the stage: Stage fright! Lampenfieber is one of the many words, terms, expressions, and superstitions in a German opera house, you will learn in my first workshop “German for Opera Singers” in 2018.
When?
Wednesday, January 24
7 pm – 9 pm
Where?
After having conducted workshops in Vienna and London: Back in Berlin.
Prachtwerk Cafe (Conference Room), in Neukölln,
Ganghoferstr. 2
Fee: EUR 12
From Bühnenbild to Lampenfieber, from Stimmband to Soufleuse, there are many words besides the musical vocabulary you need to know to survive your first hundred hours in a German opera house – and those from the director’s commanding mouth: Learn to understand (and follow!) stage directions and what the director wants from you in rehearsals and eventually in a performance. We will practice the vocabulary of movement and position.
The workshop will be open for everyone who sings, conducts, or directs.
If you are interested to join, drop me a line at bernducha@gmail.com.
