Marc Verzatt has directed for many opera companies throughout the USA. He teaches acting at Yale University, and maintains a busy schedule as a private coach in NYC.
As Richard Leech said last month, the three most important things to remember in singing are: “meaning, meaning, meaning!” Here Marc Verzatt shows singers how to analyze a character. Whether you sing this role or not, follow the logic on how to get inside the meaning.
CS asked a favorite stage director to write a guide for creating a believable character in an opera role, or for adding characterization to an individual aria. We believe attention can be paid in a singer’s education to role-building, characterization, and acting.
