Frost Opera Theater
If you envision yourself performing in concert halls or in opera, or working as a voice teacher or a coach, you may wish to pursue a career in Vocal Performance.
Students at the Frost School of Music concentrate on developing performance skills through study with voice professors who have proven themselves as master teachers and performers. Private voice lessons, vocal coaching, diction, and lanÂguage study are vital components of the degree program. Students also study music theory, music history and literaÂture, opera literature, solo repertoire, and vocal pedagogy. Voice majors present both junior and senior recitals.
With a wide variety of ensemble offerings, voice majors have numerous opportunities to expand their knowledge of choral literature and styles. Each semester Opera Theater presents scenes from operas and full‑length productions with the opera orchestra. More than a dozen choral ensembles are available, including the University Chorale, Chamber Singers, Jazz Vocal Ensembles, Collegium Musicum, Men’s Chorale, Women’s Chorale, and the Civic Chorale of Greater Miami, to name a few. In addition, many voice students work professionally as choristers in the Florida Grand Opera and as singers with various performing organizations throughout South Florida.
