The Opera Workshop program at Missouri State University is a training medium for young opera singers and musical theatre performers. Opera solos, ensembles scenes, one-acts and full-length productions are prepared and performed.

Opera Workshop classes emphasize the fundamentals of stage technique, movement and acting for the singer.

Since its inception in 1993, Opera Workshop performances have included well-known operas such as “The Magic Flute,” “Marriage of Figaro” and “Barber of Seville,” along with student-written improvisational exercises.
