Perspectivas teatrais em três processos em ópera

Abstract

This essay goes from the experience of watching three rehearsal processes in Germany in 2016 to discuss the specificities of the theatrical work of opera singers. From the understanding that singing is a vocal action, the possibility to use the process of learning and internalizing the musical structure during the preparation of a new role will be analyzed as the establishment of a base of physical impulses that can, thanks to its connection with the fictional universe, work as a starting point for the development of the theatrical work. KEYWORDS Opera, acting, role, singer.
