Congratulations to Studio student Kelly Muller who was selected to participate as a semi-finalist in the prestigious Los Angeles County Music Center’s Spotlight Awards program. She was one of 15 semi-finalists who were selected from a field of over 430 students.
We’re are proud to say that Kelly is the 7th such semi-finalist to represent The Alpert Studio over the course of 7 years.
Let’s all wish her good luck and “break a leg” for the finals, which will be held in February. Good job, Kelly!
Join the Alpert Studio and the Metropolitan Opera
Please Join the Alpert Studio for an extraordinary, glowingly reviewed compilation opera -as it’s broadcast live from the Met!
Featuring the world’s best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters,and a story drawn from Shakespeare, this is something that all of our students and families should not miss. In “The Enchanted Island” the lovers from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream are shipwrecked on the other-worldly island of The Tempest. The work showcases arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others. With an all-star cast featuring Placido Domingo and many current stars of opera, this is a must see!
Hope to see each and every one of you there, to experience this unique and special opportunity to see The Metropolitan Opera Live in HD.
