 Roberta
Morrell,
singer, actress, director, author and principal with the famed D'Oyly
Carte Opera Company in England will be giving Performance Master
Classes
in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Classes will be held in the
choral room of the Swope Music Building at West Chester University.
This
high-energy week of master classes is sponsored by the Gilbert
& Sullivan Society of Chester County, who are importing Miss
Morrell direct from England. Amateurs and professionals, youngsters
through seniors, will all find great gratification in these classes.
For
performers, individual Master Classes are 40 minutes and are great for
audition or concert preparation. Soloists, duets,
trios and quartets are welcome, as well as monologues and 5-minute play
scenes for non-singers. Each class costs just $65 which
includes a
DVD video of your session plus observation of the other three master
classes in your 3-hour time block.
If
there is sufficient interest, a Group Workshop will be scheduled for
Sat. morning, Jan. 16, at $25
per person. Roberta always finds clever ways to integrate you into the
action on stage! This class is good for both principals and chorus, and
you'll have
barrels of fun.
All
of the master classes and group workshop are open for observation at
$10 per person per three-hour time block.
On
completing her singing studies at the Royal College of Music,
London, Roberta Morrell joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1972
and remained until the closure in 1982. She toured twice in North

Since 1982 when the D'Oyly Carte closed its doors, Miss Morrell has

teaching both stage and dialogue techniques is renowned. She also
