The Structure of Your Special Course
A unique opera experience
The 3 day workshop combines voice training, breath awareness and musical expression. Explore opera together while discovering their own voice in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Guided vocal sessions
All sessions are guided by internationally experienced opera artists in a calm and attentive atmosphere. The group size is intentionally small to allow personal attention and individual coaching.
Daily singing sessions
The daily rhythm is shaped by voice work and musical exploration. Practise vocal technique, rehearse opera choruses together and work on their own chosen piece.
Sessions
The «morning activation»
Each day begins with gentle yoga and breathing exercises that prepare the body for singing. Breath awareness helps open the voice naturally and supports relaxed vocal expression.
The «voice discovery»
Explore vocal technique, musical expression and stage presence during the main sessions. Individual coaching allows each person to develop their voice at their own level.
The «shared music»
Opera becomes a collective experience through chorus rehearsals and musical exchange within the group. Singing together creates energy, connection and confidence.
Open to everyone
The workshop welcomes people of all backgrounds. No previous musical education is required. Whether you are curious about your voice or already love singing, you are welcome exactly as you are.
At your own pace
Between the sessions there is time to rest, reflect or enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Sass da Grüm. Participation in all sessions is optional and everyone can follow their own rhythm.
The final concert
At the end of the workshop participants share their musical journey in a small final concert. This moment celebrates the discoveries of the week and the joy of singing together.
