Acting for Opera: A Manual on Acting for Opera Singers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781522018667)

This is an in-depth and detailed manual on acting for opera singers. Based on 45 years of performance and knowledge of opera, classically trained actor and director Norman Cooley has devised an acting training for opera singers. The book includes theory, supported by exercises, anecdotes as well as observations from operatic performances and rehearsals.Norman believes acting in opera should be completely integrated with the singing and support and empower the work of the singer, and should never hamper nor harm good singing technique. It should be as effortless as possible to provide a safe harbour for the singer to sing at their best while creating a fully satisfying performance.
