OLLI's newest class — Great Operatic Voices
KENNESAW, Ga. (January 17, 2014) – This is not your normal class. No textbooks are required, but bring your keen listening ear and a strong passion to learn about music. This unique course will break down and examine some of the world’s greatest operatic voices including Gigli, Caruso, Pavarotti and Bartoli. Instructor Donna Angel will present hundreds of CDs to students to discover what they desire in a singing voice. Additionally, students will explore each singer at length researching their technical training, major operatic roles and interesting anecdotes about their lives.
“This class brings the opportunity for those who admire beautiful singers, to actually learn more about the different voice types and what makes a great singer throughout the ages,” Angel said. “The object of this class study is to help participants gain a growing respect for many world-class talents, and their gifts to the exciting world of opera.”
Open discussions will include topics such as how to determine the differences in the vocal timbres of each performer and how to discern what makes these historic voices either similar or different from their peers.
Great Operatic Voices starts Feb. 3 and will meet on eight consecutive Mondays (2/3-3/24) from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the KSU Center.
