Program Information
Renowned mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato presents a series of three master classes focusing on opera arias. Four singers will be selected to participate in this set of public events, which will be held in the Judith and Burton Resnick Education Wing and streamed live online. Additional sessions on breathing, movement, and career development complete the program.
Fees
All workshops and master classes are tuition-free for invited participants. Carnegie Hall provides shared hotel accommodations and a travel stipend to all participants who do not maintain a residence in the New York City area. Please see the workshop details page for further information on the stipend offered for your workshop.
Invited participants are expected to arrive in New York City the day before the workshop begins and depart the day after it concludes. Shared hotel accommodation is provided on that basis. Expenses of up to $600 (domestic) and $1,200 (outside North America) will be reimbursed to each participant traveling from outside the New York City area.
