Attendance at Vocal Performance Lab is required
each semester.
Before completing the program of study, the
student must have a thourough knowledge of singing
diction and comprehension of AT LEAST two of
the standard operatic languages (Italian, French,
German). Upon admission to the program, the

NOTE: Identified language deficiencies will
have to be remidied during the period of residence
at a credit level not applicable to the total
graduate credit hour requirement of the certificate
itself.
Students admitted into the Artist Certificate
program in Opera Performance will perform a
screening examination at the end of the first
semester in residence. No student will be considered
fully admitted into the Artist Certificate program
until this examination has been passed, and
under no circumstances will a student be permitted
to continue in the program beyond one semester
without successful completion of that requirement.
The examination performance will be judged by
the opera faculty (music director and stage
director), the coordinator of voice, and the
student's applied voice teacher and will consist
of the following:
-
Three arias (new repertoire from audition)
in three different languages covering a variety
of styles;
- A
secco recitative from standard 17th and 18th
centry opera repertoire;
