AboutPamela Thomas Expertise Questions on Opera performance, repertoire, vocal technique, acting for opera. I have some 20 years experience in opera in both leading roles and chorus. I have sung with New York City Opera since 1981. I have studied voice in NYC for over 20 years and have also taught technique and coached singers in acting.
Question Hi, are there any good schools for studying opera in the state of Florida?
Answer Hi Giordana,
I would look at Florida State, Stetson Unversity (I went there but it was so long ago I don't really know the faculty anymore - but it's an excellent school)
I you can afford to join the classical singers website (www.classicalsinger.com) they have a listing of university music schools by region/state, etc. All of the Florida schools are there - you might be able to see the info without becoming a member - so try that.
You can also visit the schools' websites and talk to them as well. All of the big state schools, FSU, Florida and Miami have big programs... Stetson is smaller and private, I think.
