Join Lead Teaching Artist Julia Bengtsson (New York Baroque Dance Company Dancer), for this in-person session of Opera Starts with Oh! 

Come with us as we explore the famous French composer and the musical work of Io that was left unfinished, and will be debuted for the first time with Opera Lafayette in May in New York City and Washington, DC (tickets on sale now)!

We’ll dive into the music with professional singer, instrumentalist, actor, and director Paul Shipper, learning more about what it means to be a musician and expressing emotions through sound. Soprano and voice teacher Erinn Sensenig will take us on a journey into the arias of Rameau’s Io, offering everyone a chance to try out their own opera singing IN A REAL THEATER (see what it looks like below)! You’ll also get to create your very own costume piece to continue the fun at home. We can’t wait to see you there!
