Andre Chiang and Olivia Yokers (both Music) gave a set of master classes, lectures, and workshops around the Southeast this past week. The pair visited the University of Alabama to give a Chekhov workshop, Belmont University to give lectures on vocology and body work, the University of Mississippi to give a master class and Chekhov workshop, and through New Orleans Opera a master class at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. These invited classes were primarily for voice majors and opera workshop participants.
Following that week, the pair are featured in Puccini's Le villi with Mobile Opera in Mobile, AL. This rarely performed opera was Puccini's first operatic composition. Chiang sings the role of Guglielmo and Yokers sings the role of Anna. The performance takes place on February 3rd.
