Yes, the Messiah guy! Handel once got into a full blown sword fight, and the only reason it didn't end badly for him? A button!

Ella said it perfectly! Whether it is staying late in the practice room because you just cannot stop, squeezing in one more run through before a performance, or convincing your accompanist to stay just five more minutes - every singer knows this feeling.

Save this and send it to a fellow singer who gets it!

Joyeux anniversaire, Gabriel Fauré! 🎂🎶

Born on this day in 1854, Fauré gave the world some of the most beloved mélodies in the classical vocal repertoire - and if you've ever sung one of his works, you already know why we love him so much.

A composer who believed music exists to lift us above the everyday. We think he succeeded. ✨

Dr. Sokolnicki led a resume building session for our opera students recently, because great training means preparing singers for every part of a professional career, not just the parts that happen on stage.

Congrats, Bruins!

All the late nights in the practice room, the early morning warm ups, the running of repertoire until you could sing it in your sleep - it all led to this moment. You showed up, you did the work, and you walked into that room and gave it everything you had. Take a breath. Rest your voice. Celebrate yourself. You have absolutely earned it!
