ABOUT IPAI GERMANY:

 

       IPAI Germany is a 3-week intensive that focuses on developing the artistic capacities and direction of the total artist with an emphasis on experiencing German culture and musical connection. Participants have a rigorous schedule that includes rehearsals for a comprehensive German opera/operetta and musical theatre scenes program; daily classes in dance/movement/choreography, German language/diction, and acting; and a minimum of 2 private voice lessons and 2 private coachings per week. Performers participate in masterclasses for musical theatre, opera, and collaborative piano focusing on style, interpretation and performance; entrepreneurship, branding, and marketing; auditioning; German Lied and Operetta; and more.

       Our piano duo collaborative environment is a unique learning experience among summer programs. Pianist-singer duos work, rehearse, coach, and perform together throughout the entirety of the program: learning from each other and developing language, connection, musical communication, and often special partnerships that continue beyond the summer intensive.

       Our combined American and German faculty offer a unique cultural perspective and provide in-depth, one-on-one mentorship as our participants find and create a plan to pursue the individual, unique expression of their personal brand of artistry in the world.

       Musical Theatre participants go on one musical excursion during the program: musical theatre artists visit Stage Entertainment (Germany's largest Broadway Musical production company) for a 3-day workshop and audition in Hamburg and opera artists will participate in a workshop and behind-the-scenes tour with the General Director of a regional German opera house.

       Performance opportunities during the program include 1 scenes concert , a musical theatre song night,  Opera Singing Contest, 1-Liederabend concert, and of course singing in master classes.

       IPAI Germany is an all-inclusive training experience with lodging at the Hotel Zur Post in Kiefersfelden, Germany and a hot Bavarian breakfast and lunch buffet served each day. The focused programs of study offered during IPAI Germany are: Opera, Musical Theatre, Collaborative Piano, and both Teaching and Directing Fellowships.
