Join Bel Canto Boot Camp‘s (BCBC) Steven Tharp, former Metropolitan Opera tenor and Professor of Voice at the University of Missouri, and BCBC founders, Rachelle Jonck and Derrick Goff for a series of Sunday Zoom Listening Salons. With a participating audience of both opera lovers and professionals, we will learn together what to listen for in historical recordings, discussing opera history and the bel canto technique, and where the technology needs our ears and minds to “fill in” what might not be there.
