TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
'The Mozart|DaPonte Operas Program in Berlin was an invaluable experience for me. Working with such a richly knowledgeable faculty and in such an intense, succinct program is the best way to tackle the Daponte operas. It was wonderful to work with other singers from around the world in ensembles and to perfect my own arias for performance. I would recommend the program to anyone.'
Morgan Carter, Mezzo-Soprano (Australia)
'In January of this year I had the opportunity to participate at the first Mozart Da Ponte programme in Berlin and it was a great experience all the way- vocal coachings with very skilful, professional and competent teachers, drama workshops and amazing, eye-opening workshops for interpreting recitatives. This week gave me a lot of new tools on how to work on Mozart repertoire but also helped me to develop my singing and acting skills in general. In addition to all that, I enjoyed the time with great colleagues and amazing organisation throughout the whole course. It is a perfect course to work on all levels connected to making a Mozart piece sound as heavenly as it should!'
