Raise the curtain on Opera Arlington’s third season!
Join Opera Arlington and award winning director, Claire Choquette, for an afternoon of Operatic Acting.
Join Opera Arlington for a free, public master class with award-winning stage director Claire Choquette on Sunday, February 8 at 2:00 PM at Wellspring on Main in Arlington, TX. Choquette gained national recognition when her concept for Salome won OPERA America’s prestigious Robert L.B. Tobin Director-Designer Prize and has since directed numerous fully staged productions across the U.S., working with major companies and young artist programs including Shreveport Opera, Painted Sky Opera, Boston University, The Dallas Opera Outreach, Wolf Trap, and Opera Theater St. Louis.
In this 90 mintute class, Claire will coach some of DFW's rising opera talent in dramatic interpretation and movement in opera. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested to reserve your seat.
