OPERA at USC gives singers and pianists at the undergraduate level excellent training opportunities. The Opera Workshop course (MUSC 130K, "Stage Movement and Technique") helps students to develop characterization, stage presence, diction, movement, and other necessary theatrical skills, through intensive coaching and group discussion. This course may be repeated for additional credit. Undergraduates gain abundant practical stage experience, by performing in programs of opera scenes and participating in opera choruses in full-length productions. In addition, OPERA at USC features one production a year with undergraduates cast in principal roles (MUSC 130P).
