The role of music education in the development of young artists for the opera stage
Session

Description
This study examines the impact of music education on the development of young artists for the opera stage, with a particular focus on soloists and choristers. In a context where the demands on performers are constantly increasing, the aim is to analyze how music education contributes not only to technical skills, but also to the cognitive, emotional and social capacities of artists. The study addresses the questions: How does music education prepare an artist for the challenges of the opera stage? What are the formative aspects beyond vocal skills? This paper emphasizes the importance of an integrated pedagogical approach in the education of soloists and choristers, where emotional, physical, collaborative and cultural components are intertwined with vocal preparation. The research follows a qualitative methodology, including a literature review, interviews with music educators, opera directors, and active artists, as well as observations in teaching environments and rehearsals of vocal ensembles. The findings show that musical education balanced between technique and artistic sensitivity creates optimal conditions for the development of stable performers who are aware of their artistic and social responsibility. Such education fosters self-reflection, discipline, collaboration, and the ability to communicate emotionally with the audience. The study recommends expanding interdisciplinary content and strengthening professional mentoring to support a new generation of soloists and choristers prepared for the aesthetic and humane challenges of the modern stage.
