What MOSF Singers Say About The Program

Learning how to sing is about learning how to hear correctly what you are doing

 

Mediterranean Opera Studio is the best summer program I’ve ever done. After going there I began to know what opera is, where it come from and why it should be singing like this. I really appreciate the wonderful faculty of MOS. They pulled my singing back from the wrong path, and changed my career by just one Summer.

Shi Li
Bass - China

Mediterranean Opera Studio must be the best Summer program around. What I find exceptional about it is their teachers. Jack LiVigni is the founder of the program and represents to me an ideal example of what a modern voice teacher should be: cool and with a lot of italian opera tradition in his bagagge. In my lessons I also I got to hear Salvatore Fisichella and Nelly Miricioiu singing, this is like hearing a vinyl come alive. True legends of belcanto singing in a room with you and trying to help you be a better singer. Their coaches also are the best in the market, they can answer any question about opera and are open to do so. MOS helped me  improve my singing while having a great time and meeting tons of wonderful people.

Adrian Rodriguez
Tenor, Canada

I found MOS an exceptional experience. I was apprehensive to start but quickly realised I was working with top quality individuals. All vocal coaching as well as repertoire coaches were outstanding and their records and experiences speak for themselves. I would highly reccommend attending MOS to any aspiring and experienced opera singer.

Carlo Fontana
Tenor, South Africa

Mediterranean Opera Studio offers a first class international faculty of coaches and teachers who help both professional, working singers as well as emerging professionals achieve the highest level of style, diction, and technical proficiency. Every nuance of a song or aria is explored to the fullest, which leads to a thoroughly confident and engaging performance.

Janice Edwards
Mezzo Soprano, USA

During my time at MOS, I learned more in 4 weeks than during my 2 years in graduate school. Maestro Li Vigni carefully selects fantastic faculty who empower students to discover their full potential. Additionally, MOS provided us with confidence, experience, and invaluable information to help us succeed as emerging artists. I highly recommend this program to any singer who wishes to take their artistry to the next level.

Kara Smoot
Soprano, USA

Studying at the Mediterranean Opera Studio was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made – it was truly a life AND voice changing experience. The daily work with outstanding teachers and coaches drastically changed my vocal abilities and I learned an incredible amount of practical and historical knowledge about performing and being an opera singer. The supportive community of staff and fellow singers made it possible to try new things without judgement, allowing you maximum growth during the program. It was hard work, but it was also a lot of fun and the friendships I made will last a lifetime! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a phenomenal team of teachers and coaches. They poured their energy into every student regardless of level and tailored sessions to the unique needs of each student. We had plenty of performing opportunities to practice what we were learning, we ate delicious food and toured around some of the most beautiful parts of Italy. Personally, I can’t wait to go back.

Melanie Anderson
Soprano, USA

MOS is a unique opportunity for singers who want to get a new insight in style, technique, and interpretation, with a special attention in Italian repertoire.

Working in an open group of open, friendly people coming from all over the world, with different backgrounds and dreams is also definitely one of the best parts of the experience.
