Nice review.

“[Meirson’s] advance work with the students was obviously equal to his pianistic wizardry.”

Online Role Study Workshop - Auditions are not required. Details: bit.ly/2KWLhnv

Dear Opera Singers,

In our 10th Anniversary Season, due to the COVID-19 health crisis, Russian Opera Workshop 2020 has pivoted to an online Role Study Workshop.

I am pleased to offer Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" as an additional online summer workshop, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Limited time slots are available in August 2020. Submit request --> https://bit.ly/2KWLhnv

While the current Summer Program was substantially restructured, Russian Opera Workshop Artists 2020 opted to participate online and study their assigned roles in Tchaikovsky’s "Romeo and Juliet" and "Eugene Onegin", Rachmaninoff’s "Francesca da Rimini", and Rubinstein’s "The Demon."

Safety-first is the only right choice this summer. Therefore, all in-person activities, public masterclasses, and performances were cancelled.

On a personal note, while downsizing the program to a solo operation this summer, I will deeply miss my team, faculty, and our loyal audience.

When it is safe again, Russian Opera Workshop will be back!

Be well.

Ghenady Meirson
