Vocal Studies

Schöner Gesang

The study programmes at the Department for Vocal Studies are tailored to the needs of singers in the 21st century, who can take on roles with demanding physical requirements and are also trained to work with colleagues, directors and conductors from all over the world. The renowned faculty inspires and encourages students to find their own voice and develop it at their own pace. Numerous opportunities to gain stage experience in the immediate vicinity of the Salzburg Festival round out the programme.

About

Voice training already played an important role when the Mozarteum was founded in 1841, and this is no different today. The expectations placed on today's singers, however, have changed considerably: in addition to excellent vocal and musical qualities, performing skills are also a must for successful singers. The study programme prepares students for the many realities of life as a singer.

In addition, the vocal pedagogy courses offer a practice-oriented, artistic, pedagogical and academic education. The interdisciplinary and diverse nature of these courses represents a contemporary preparation for a range of future professional fields in a changing professional world.

    Benjamin Britten: The Rape of Lucretia 

    "Go back, Tarquinius!" – comes the warning from the opera's narrator to the son of the Etruscan king. But the tragedy is already unfolding at pace: Tarquinius falls upon Lucretia, the wife of his comrade Collatinus, and rapes her, in spite of her fierce reistance. The next day, Lucretia takes her own life in public. Benjamin Britten's dark chamber opera, premiered in 1946 at Glyndebourne, resounds with the traumatic experiences of fascism and war.

    Mozart's opera Don Giovanni deals with the mythologically charged subject of the womaniser and libertine Don Juan. The focus is on an unscrupulous nobleman who lives excessively, seduces women and even murders – until he is finally brought to account by a higher power. The story is deeply rooted in moral issues and raises questions of guilt, abuse of power and punishment.
