Seattle Academy of Opera
The core faculty includes:
Stephen Stubbs: musical coaching / continuo
Nancy Zylstra: vocal coaching
Anna Mansbridge: baroque dance, gesture and movement
Margriet Tindemans: viola da gamba / continuo
Maxine Eilander: baroque harps / continuo
In recognition of the need for ongoing education in the field of baroque opera for both singers and continuo players, we also offer weekend workshops during the academic year. Unlike the Accademia d'Amore, which has 40-50 participants, these events are designed for a smaller group (limited to eight singers) allowing for more in-depth work and exploring the repertoire of the cantata and motet as well as operatic scenes. The faculty of Seattle Academy of Opera are artists-in-residence at St James Cathedral.
