BEGINNING EARLY IN THE SEASON, VIVACE YOUTH CHORUS BEGAN PLANNING FOR OUR FIRST OPERA WORKSHOP - THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL ADDITION TO OUR PROGRAMMING SINCE THE INDUCTION OF OUR SATELLITE SITE IN EAST SAN JOSE.

EIGHTEEN PARTICIPANTS, AGES 11-18, STUDIED THE HISTORY OF OPERA, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS, STAGE CRAFT AND DESIGN, AND MOVEMENT AND DANCE, AMONG MANY OTHER TOPICS.
