Artistic Director - Stewart Robertson
Artistic Administrator - Patrick Hansen
Director of Young Artist Studio - Cecelia Schieve
Principal Coach - TBD
9 singers, 1 coach/accompanist
The Florida Grand Opera Young Artist Studio targets those skills necessary to develop a successful opera career. Singers attend classes concentrating on vocal interpretation, acting, role study, style, language, and movement, receive regular individual coaching sessions, and participate in coachings, masterclasses and seminars given by acclaimed guest artists and teachers.
Young Artists have the opportunity to perform or cover mainstage roles, sing in the FGO Chorus in up to two productions, perform in school and community performances, perform art song recitals and be featured in the Young Artist Showcase.
The Apprentice Coach works extensively with the resident and visiting musical staff. Duties include coaching the Young Artists, taking part in school and community performances, accompanying chorus rehearsals and some main-stage performances, and calling titles (projected English translations).
Compensation: Members of the Young Artist Studio are provided with housing in Miami, utilities (except phone), health insurance, round-trip transportation to Miami, and a weekly stipend (currently $400), plus additional compensation at AGMA rates for chorus participation. Financial assistance for voice lessons is also available. Additional fees are paid for main-stage appearances in principal and comprimario roles. The coach/accompanist receives additional remuneration for calling titles. The weekly stipend is all-inclusive of community outreach and special events appearances on behalf of FGO. All vocal coaching, classes, seminars and master-classes are provided to Young Artists at no charge. Young Artists are responsible for their own transportation during their residence which necessitates the rental or ownership of a vehicle.
