This summer we will see the second edition of Summer School forSingers by Performing Opera, at Grachtenfestival Amsterdam. The youngest generation of opera singers will follow a five-day intensive course, working on play and performance, directed by the professionals of Pitstop Studio, namely: Elsina Jansen (acting in opera), Wilfred van Peppel (physical acting), David Prins (interpretation & presentation). Painist Marta Liebana will be accompanying the singers.
The Summer School will open its doors to the public, for a behind-the-scenes impression. How does a singer prepare for a role, with regards to all aspects of opera performance, and not only the musical part of it? Is entering oneself into a role something that can be taught? A unique insight in how the mind of a singer works.
Quick deciders get twice as much of what’s cooking in the Italian kitchen!
Today you can see what’s cooking in the kitchen of Roberto’s Restaurant in the Hilton Hotel. You will get the chance to prepare a classic Italian pasta dish, under the professional guidance of Roberto’s kitchen crew. It involves a lot more than just bringing water to a boil, and you will notice this as soon as you enter the kitchen. After this cooking session - results guaranteed - you will be able to enjoy your own made pasta. And what could be a sweeter desert than the delightful performance of the young opera singers, in a glimpse behind the scenes. Which will, of course, include an Italian aria. 2 pm – 3:45 pm including the meal.
