WAGNER'S RHEINGOLD, AUGUST 11-31 2019

Because the program has no age limit, young dramatic voices get to share the stage with seasoned professionals who are participating in the program because they want to sing a particular role or are changing Fachs. I established solid professional relationships with people who are in the industry, and working in the opera houses in Europe. And what I have received in lessons, coachings, masterclasses and performance opportunities, headshots, recordings has been one of the most cost effective investments I have done.' 
                                                     - Stephanie DePrez, Soprano [Woglinde, Das Rheingold 2019]

'Everything that was promised by the program came through beautifully. The daily coachings were impeccable, the voice teaching was fantastic. I feel like I have arrived at another level. I can add Wagner to my repertoire and I owe this to the Dramatic Voices Program Berlin.' 
                                                                       - Marc Molomot, Tenor [Mime, Das Rheingold 2019]

'My favorite part were the coachings and lessons, which were at a very high level - they were specific and always done from an encouraging point of view. I did a lot of artistic growth in an environment that is supportive and encourages risk-taking.' 
                                                         - Jennifer Carter, Soprano [Wellgunde, Das Rheingold 2019]
