Student Stories: Liam

2.5 hours left and it’s time for another student story! This one comes from Liam, a relative newcomer to the workshop who has come around to classical singing in a big way!

“My name is Liam, I am 19 years old, and I have been a member of the Opera Workshop for a little over a year. When I first started studying with Melinda, I didn’t realize how much of an impact our weekly lessons would have on me. Within a few months, I was hooked. I am now determined to pursue a career in classical singing. Opera is one of the most challenging, exciting and most beautiful art forms to study. When I first started taking lessons, it never occurred to me that being an opera singer meant not only knowing how to sing, but also acting and knowing multiple languages. It was both exhilarating and overwhelming.

Thanks to Melinda and my peers, at Opera Workshop, I came to be comfortable with the various aspects of opera singing. Please support us today, so we can continue learning our craft, and by doing so, continue to inspire other teens.”

Please consider Liam and all our teens as Valley Gives winds down this evening! There is still time to DONATE NOW!

It's official: CLEARLY there is no hope for the future of opera. (These guys just haven't gotten the message yet.) https://t.co/XC8cQjafYu
