I had the rare opportunity to be a fly on the wall at an AZ Opera Master Class this evening at the AZ Opera Rehearsal Space.
First let me explain that I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about music! What I do know is whether I like it or not. Does it tickle my ears and send shivers down my spine? If the answer is "yes," then it is not only good, but superb from my novice point of view.
Tonight I had the opportunity to hear four masters of their craft and to hear the critique of a maestro. I may have the terminology wrong, but my ears told me I was allowed a very rare opportunity. I may not have another opportunity to attend a Master Class rehearsal, but I know that I will be attending AZ Opera performances.
Thank you to all the AZ Opera Staff and artists that shared this wonderful opportunity.
And, thank you, Lindsey, Community Manager Extraordinaire, for having the foresight to know how much we would enjoy it.
The rehearsal space? A large warehouse type space. I was delighted to hear that they will have their very own special rehearsal space this fall. This space, although it works, leaves a lot to be desired for this type of performance work.
