French Art Songs
French Opera scenes and arias
With piano
French mélodie is an extraordinary training ground for the singer. Its intimacy and precision demand a highly developed sensitivity to language.
Working on composers such as Debussy, Fauré, Duparc, Ravel, Chausson, Poulenc, and others allows singers to discover the extraordinary range of French song, from elegant simplicity to sophisticated harmonic and emotional complexity.
French opera scenes and arias open the door to a repertoire where vocal beauty, dramatic expression, and language are inseparable.
From the lyricism and elegance of Massenet and Gounod to the distinctive colors and emotional worlds of Bizet, Offenbach, Saint-Saëns, Debussy, and Poulenc, singers encounter a remarkable variety of characters, styles, and dramatic situations.
