Orchestral Excerpts

The Art of Accompaniment in the Operatic Repertoire

In the operatic repertoire, mastery of orchestral excerpts is fundamental to ensure a perfect balance between the orchestra and solo voices. The orchestra is not merely a support, but a true co-protagonist that dialogues with the singers, sustaining them with dynamics, colors, and tempos. Knowing how to interpret these passages with precision and sensitivity is essential for successfully facing auditions and competitions in national and international orchestras.
This Masterclass represents a unique opportunity to refine the execution of orchestral excerpts, with particular attention to operatic accompaniment, thanks to the valuable advice of Maestro Alessandro Ferrari, conductor and violinist.
