Dear friends of Russian Opera Workshop, Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, Russian Opera Workshop 2020 has pivoted to an online Role Study Workshop. I am pleased to offer Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin as an additional online summer workshop. Auditions are not required. Visit RussianOperaWorkshop.com for details. One-on-one Russian diction and vocal coaching of Eugene Onegin roles will be available to opera singers on a rolling basis from May to September 2020. When it is safe to travel again, singers will have the option to visit my AVA studio in Philadelphia and run-through their roles (good through May 2021). While the current Summer Program was substantially restructured, Russian Opera Workshop Artists 2020 opted to participate online and study their assigned roles in Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet and Eugene Onegin, Rachmaninoff’s Francesca da Rimini, and Rubinstein’s The Demon. Safety-first is the only right choice this summer. Therefore, all in-person activities, public masterclasses, and performances are cancelled. On a personal note, while downsizing the program to a solo operation this summer, I will deeply miss my team, faculty, and our loyal audience. When it is safe again, Russian Opera Workshop will be back! Be well.
