Repetiteurs are the unsung heroes of any opera company and are highly skilled. Our repetiteurship programme will give you the opportunity to learn and study all the core skills needed to enter the profession.
Overview
As a student on the MMus/MA Repetiteurship programme, you will work and study as part of the internationally reputable Alexander Gibson Opera School. In your studies you will work regularly with staff from Opera School, who have considerable professional experience both nationally and internationally.
You are required to be technically proficient at the keyboard to a very high standard. You will play music from Auber to Zandonai, covering all styles throughout the centuries. Repetiteurs must be able to coach singers in the major operatic languages, demanding not only a high degree of musicianship but psychological insight into the characters they are coaching and the singers standing before them.
The programme will give you the opportunity to learn and study all the core and related skill sets; piano lessons, languages, coaching, continuo playing, style and repertoire. A large part of your training will be in practical sessions, playing for classes, opera scenes rehearsals, masterclasses and, where appropriate, conducting.
Candidates are normally expected to hold a good honours (at least 2:2) degree, or its overseas equivalent, in a subject area relevant to the demands of the programme.
