ADAMS, Mass. — This summer, Classic Lyric Arts is bringing its top talent to a showcase at the Adams Theater, once again for free with registration. 

 

Students and faculty members will present a grand finale show of staged opera scenes at the Adams Theater during CLA's Berkshire residency, which is devoted to mastering the artistry of Mozart's Italian Operas, during a free community production at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 12.

 

CLA is dedicated to developing the talent of emerging professional opera singers and pianists. The organization's staff includes coaches, conductors, language instructors, stage designers and masterclass teachers from well-known opera theaters like La Scala, Covent Garden, and the Metropolitan Opera; they're deeply committed to guiding emerging opera singers to achieve their artistic potential by teaching vocal repertoire through the prism of language, culture, and history. 

 

More than 500 artists have participated in CLA programs over the years, from CLA's initial launch in Italy in 2009, followed by France in 2012 and the Berkshires in 2022. The CLA programs offer an intensive immersion into vocal repertoire, exploring the intricacies of musical style, vocal technique, and linguistic structures.
