Description

The Opera Diploma program is intended for singers who have completed an undergraduate degree or diploma in music and who wish to continue their studies in voice and opera. The diploma requires the completion, within three consecutive academic terms (spring/fall/winter or fall/winter/spring), of 4.5 credits with an overall GPA of 7.00 (B-). For admission to the program, students must have completed all prerequisites, audition successfully, and be admitted to the university.

Prerequisites: MU298*, MU490*, and two of FR102, GM101, GM102, IT102.

Required courses: MU294; MU398* or MU498*; MU491B*; MU491R; and 1.5 credits which must include, if not taken as part of the undergraduate degree, a 0.5 credit in drama (MU284 Acting for Singers). The student must be enrolled concurrently in MU398* or MU498*, MU491B*, and an approved elective course; withdrawal from one of these will entail withdrawal from the program.

Electives may be chosen from MU497* (Intensive Studies in Voice), drama, acting, languages, and a senior 0.5 credit in music history. Depending on the student's prior experience in voice, opera, music history, and drama, other electives may be considered such as accompanying, coaching and dance. Each student's program must be approved by the dean and by the co-ordinator of opera.

Students in this program may not repeat courses.
