Vocal Performance, Opera, Musical Theater, and Ensembles
Vocalists at Stanford sing in musical theater and opera productions, choral and early-music ensembles, and perform in solo recitals. Participation in all vocal ensembles, lessons, and activities is available by audition to students in any major. Eligibility for private voice lessons and most voice classes are based on audition; an audition is not required for beginning voice classes. The panoply of vocal courses includes Dramatic Vocal Arts, Diction for Singers, German and French Art Song Interpretation, Singing: How It Is Done, Singing for Musicals, and many more. Masterclasses led by world-renowned artists are offered to students through the Shenson Recital Series and Stanford Live. Community members are welcome in the Stanford Symphonic Chorus and several other ensembles.
