Vero Beach Opera and The Emerson Center presented MASTER CLASSES by world class Metropolitan Opera Tenor Marcello Giordani. Opera News writes, "He is, arguably, the greatest leading tenor of his generation."

The Master Classes took place Monday, March 15 and Tuesday March 16, from 10 am to 5 pm each day at The Emerson Center at 1590 27th Avenue in Vero Beach.

Those  attended this two-day event experienced how world famous master opera singer Marcello Giordani listens, instructs and critiques the technique of opera singing. There were 14 carefully selected and qualified singers who participated in the program. Those attending the Master Classes heard, in essence, a recital of operatic works sung by 14 gifted singers and benefited by two days of instructions on vocal production by a famous current master singer.

The lessons highly informed and enlightened the aspiring singers and the general public about the opera singing genre by one of the most celebrated tenors of our days, Marcello Giordani.

The Emerson Center is located at 1590 27th Avenue in Vero Beach, and is at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Vero Beach.

This event was made possible by a partnership between the Emerson Center and Vero Beach Opera to benefit the Deborah Voigt/Vero Beach Opera Foundation's Protégée Mentoring Program.
