The S.M.Arts masterclass program is back! 

S.M.Arts is continuing its very popular Master Class program. This year we are focusing on the art of presenting an opera. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity - an in-depth, hands-on learning experience, which is hard to achieve in any other educational institution.

The first day will start with a 4-hour class with Canadian Opera Company’s Stage Manager, Lil Stilwell. That evening,  participants will watch the performance of A Florentine Tragedy / Gianni Schicchi. Two days later, there will be a backstage tour of the theatre led by Assistant Stage Managers, Tiffany Fraser & Mike Lewandowski. That evening, participants will watch the performance from the broadcast booth while listening to the show being called on headset. The evening will be capped off by a 1/2 hour Q&A session with the Stage Management team.
