EDUCATION MODULE:
Dramatic soprano Heather Hjelle from Barrett, MN discusses her personal journey to becoming a professional opera singer. Hjelle also answers questions from elementary students based on her previously developed stage presentation “Every Person’s Guide to Opera”. This approach reduces the uncertainties of opera and makes it a more inviting musical genre, allowing educators to introduce opera to students at a basic level of understanding. Some of the topics Hjelle addresses include: learning to sing in different languages; the vocal classifications of opera singers; and the rigorous demands of the profession. I trust my local public television station to deliver arts, culture, and history programming that is well-researched and unbiased. - Over 60% of MPTA Survey respondents
