FLO 1. A room with a view on the Italian Belcanto

Period of the EOA module in 2024-2025:

  • 01 February 2025 – 04 May 2025 (TBC)

Meet the Italian Belcanto tradition in the town that hosted the first operatic creation. An all-Italian experience on the operatic repertoire from Baroque to Verdi and Puccini. Voice lessons on style and technique, repertoire study with vocal coaches, Italian language and diction class, Opera class with acting and staging seminars, final concert with semi-staged performance of full operatic scenes.

Study repertoire:

  1. One leading role from an Opera in Italian
  2. A group of 3-4 arias in Italian, including recitativos and/or cabalettas if present and full scenes and ensembles from operas

Participants:

All voice types

Specialty of this module in comparison with other courses in Europe

We give the participants the possibility to develop their skills in the Italian language and diction in a very practical approach. We will concentrate on interpretation and performance of the most important Italian belcanto styles, from the early baroque “recitar-cantando”, the classic recitativo secco, accompagnato and virtuoso arias, to the Romantic “solita scena” (scena, aria and cabaletta) until the declamatory style of the late XIX composers (Verismo), depending on each singers vocal and musical needs. Our teachers and coaches have a long experience in the tuition of international students, as in our Vocal studies Faculty more than 50% of singers are from all the continents. Being in Firenze (Dante’s home town) allows you to absorb the good “reference” Italian diction directly from the people you will meet in the street, as the Florentine language is the basis of the modern Italian language.

Additionally, a production on stage (with piano and/or small instrumental ensemble accompaniment) of MOZART’s Don Giovanni at Villa Favard di Rovezzano (Firenze), at the end of April 2025, with the participation of the EOA students as either soloist or choir (singers). Please, if you interested to participate, send the link of a video performance of at least one Mozart aria in Italian. We will award extra 6ECTS to participants.

        B. Workshop resilient artist, performance psychology 

        Nowadays, you will find very few top athletes who are not surrounded by a team of experts such as coaches, (para)medics, nutritionists and sports psychologists. In the music world, however, this remains largely an oddity, even though professional musicians have very strong similarities with professional athletes. They too are in a stress-sensitive profession that requires hard work and discipline in addition to talent. Being mentally strong – in thinking, feeling and doing – is as important for professional musicians as it is for top athletes. In his book and workshop ‘Making music is top-sport’, Bert De Cuyper provides essential frames of reference from (sports) psychology that can help musicians at all levels to increase their self-knowledge and strengthen their self-management. These handles cover the whole alphabet, from a to z, from fear to self-confidence. Stage fright, mental resilience, perfectionism, overtraining, developing and monitoring stress-recovery balance, … it’s all covered. 

        Name of the professor of this module: Bert de Cuyper (TBC): Prof. Em. KU Leuven – Performance Psychology at LUCA School of Arts

        C. Walk like an artist, stand like an artist. 

        Darren Ross studied at the Laban Centre for Mouvement and Dance in London. In 1988, he moved to France where he joined the ‘Compagnie de Brigitte Farges’ and from 1992 he danced in the ‘Compagnie Larsen’. It was with this dance company that he came into contact with opera. In 1998, he signed his first opera choreography for La traviata. This was also the starting shot for a long-standing collaboration with director Jean-Claude Berutti. Together they signed for La Bague magique (Giovanna Marini), Faust, Rusalka, La bohème, Wiener Blut, Otello and Tannhaüser. They also regularly worked together for spoken theatre. For Marguerite Borie, he designed the choreography of Salome for the opera houses of Monte Carlo, Liège and Vienna. In Belgium, he is a regular guest at De Munt Brussels, among others, where he signed for the choreography of Weisse Rose/Zimmermann and of The Golden Vanity/Benjamin Britten, both directed by Caroline Petrick. Together with Benjamin Van Torhout, he worked on Raisonnez and Het geslacht Borgia, performed in Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Bruges. For Compagnie Arsenic and Axel De Boosere, he choreographed Le dragon and Le Géant de Kaillass. In 2006, he directed Mozart unfinished/Mozart inachevé for Pantalone & de Munt/La Monnaie Brussels and Dschungel Vienna. He also choreographed Joachim Brackx’s Requiem for the Gods. This creation was a co-production of Nabla muziektheater & Concertgebouw Brugge. In Budapest, New York and Berlin, Le nozze di Figaro was performed under the musical direction of Iván Fischer and with choreography by Darren Ross.

        Darren will provide feedback to participants on their posture and movements on stage.
