Performance Opportunities
An exclusively undergraduate program in voice, the Conservatory offers a broad array of performance opportunities that are available to both performance and non-performance majors. Students who graduate from Pacific’s voice program find themselves far better prepared for the next level of their careers because of the depth and number of opportunities provided in an undergrad program only. Through the many ensembles, 歌剧院, 工作室类, 大师班, and various competitions, our undergraduate students are immersed in solo performance opportunities that transcend classroom learning, and make them more competitive in their next steps.
Pacific 歌剧院
The program includes an acting curriculum that specifically addresses the needs of the singer-actor. You can enroll in a full eight semesters of acting training. The first year lays the foundation with acting fundamentals, followed by six semesters exploring advanced methods. The curriculum is rooted in the Michael Chekhov technique, a physical approach to acting training that adapts well to opera and musical theater. 教授 Haffner is certified in the technique, and he is a sought-after guest artist in the U.美国和国外.
