About Chamber Opera, Master - at Mälardalen University

To begin the education in this multifaceted art form you must already have achieved an advanced level of vocal development and have wide expertise in the field as well as insight into current research and development work.

The Master of Fine Arts in Chamber Opera programme has a holistic view of what an opera singer needs in his or her future professional life. This means that in addition to vocal lessons, rehearsals and stage training at the highest level, you will also receive valuable tools that will help you shape your music-making and form your artistic identity.

In addition to singing, lessons are offered in ensemble singing, lied interpretation, role rehearsals, fencing, stage fighting, dance, elocution lessons, opera improvisation, languages and much more.

You will also gain insight into the codes that apply in the singing profession, for example, concert practice, audition technique, choice of repertoire, attire and attitude. This will prepare you for your future professional life as a professional opera singer.

Teachers with international experience

During the programme you will be taught by teachers and guest lecturers who belong to the top tier of the Swedish and international musical scene. Individual singing lessons are interspersed with joint weekly lessons. You will learn how to use your voice and your body to portray different characters and convey feelings, thoughts and dramatic events.
