Subject:  RE: Masters degree in opera directing

Indiana University has one. I don't know of another. Failing that, I
would apply to schools that combine quality voice teachers with a
good drama department and, ideally, with a strong opera performance
record so that you can try to stage manage, assistant direct or do
tech on operas. But if it comes to Plan B, make sure as a drama major
you have access to the best voice teachers. I'm sure I don't have to
remind you of that, but when I was an undergrad I decided to switch
to the drama school. My teacher told me I would be barred from access
to the regular faculty voice teachers. A long time ago, but who knows
what attitudes may be out there. (I stayed in the music department.)
