Gerben van der Werf

Where the conservatory focuses on singing, it was very refreshing and educational to look at my performance from a different perspective. During POSS, I was provided with handy tools that I still use to this day. By putting the tools into practice immediately, within a week, several opera scenes with depth and emotional authenticity were created.

I have learned to translate ideas and emotions into actions.

The opera business demands so much more than just beautiful singing, so it is essential to develop yourself in all other aspects as well as the vocal.
