We are excited to debut “Tenor Talks” in our 2024 season
Ever wonder how Miles books jobs? What Juilliard was like? Where he lives? If he speaks multiple languages? How he memorizes operas? What about singing high notes? Preparing for photo shoots? How does he combat stage fright?
No question is too ridiculous or off limits in these unique seminars with Emberlight’s star tenor! This interactive and casual platform welcomes audience questions, creating a vibrant exchange that celebrates music.
Led by our Artistic Director and internationally acclaimed tenor, Miles Mykkanen, this engaging series of three master classes is designed to elevate your musical understanding and appreciation. Alongside anecdotes from his recent debuts at the Royal Opera House and San Francisco Opera, Miles will guide audiences through the musical scores featured in our chamber music concerts. These free classes promise to offer invaluable context and deeper insights into the performances you will hear a few weeks later.
WHAT IS ‘OPERA & SHOWBIZ’ ABOUT?
Miles will take us through the intricacies of building an international career — starting in North America and expanding to Europe — and how to arrive for the first day of rehearsals prepared, healthy, and ready to take on any demands of the contract.
Musical studies for Opera & Showbiz include:
- Selections from Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman) by Richard Wagner
- Antonín Dvořák’s Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major
