Would you like to gain a deeper understanding of the poetic language of Italian opera and avoid common pitfalls for non-native speakers?

Discover the foundations of expressive Italian opera singing in this two-hour taster workshop. Designed for classical singing students, young professionals and opera enthusiasts of all ages, the session is led by Italian language specialist Monique Klongtruadroke and pianist and répétiteur Satoshi Kubo, with support from Barefoot Opera’s Founder, Jenny Miller (click here for biogs).

The workshop reflects Barefoot Opera’s holistic approach, where diction is explored as an integral part of singing alongside breath, voice, movement and dramatic expression. Beginning with Barefoot Opera’s signature voice & movement warm-up, participants will work together on a short Italian recitative before receiving individual guidance on 1 or 2 phrases from their prepared Italian arias, learning through shared discussion and observation, as well as personal feedback.

This interactive session offers a taste of the upcoming Italian Triptych Course, where singers will develop greater confidence in Italian diction, and discover how clear pronunciation can support vocal technique and musical expression.
