NATS 2020 Winter Workshop

New York, NY - January 10-12, 2020 - The Roosevelt Hotel

It takes a combination of disciplines to be a singing performer. The 2020 NATS Winter Workshop covered all bases, including language coaching, bodywork and exercise, and audition techniques for both opera and music theater. In addition, participants took part in the Mentored Teaching Experience. The Winter Workshop was also the site of the 2020 NATSAA and NMTC semifinal and final rounds.
