NATS San Diego Presents: The Bel Canto Boot Camp Weekend!
Schedule:
February 26th:
Event # 1: Morning Class @ All Soul's Point Loma 10:00-12:30
How do we know what we know? Join us for an exploration of how treatises, scores and early recordings work together to paint a picture of the past. We place special emphasis on skills that got lost (at least somewhat) along the way: clean onset, legato, messa di voce and registration (dynamics), agility, trill.
Special topic: Language and Legato: Diction in service of the classic bel canto phraseItalian poetic forms and the Italian operatic libretto, The how of legato - a practical system marrying diction and legato.
