A Masterclass Retreat Like No Other – Limited Spots

Dear Khbxblwejd

After two sold out masterclasses in Italy, The Old School of Singing® crosses the Alps for the very first time. Join us December 8 – 14, 2025 in the storybook town of Eutin, Germany for a 7 day Winter Wonderland Retreat that combines intensive vocal training with a glamorous 1920s style Gala Concert. Only 10 singers worldwide will be selected to experience this exclusive masterclass. Are you ready to bring back the Old School of Singing?

Immerse yourself in the true legacy of the Old School. Learn the techniques of Melocchi, Garcia and Campogalliani from Maestro Monsalve and our exceptional team, straight from the source. For the first time ever, we bring our Italian tradition abroad. This intimate retreat offers two sessions per day and uninterrupted focus so you can develop your vocal potential without distractions.

Over seven days you’ll work on: passaggio, tessitura extension, high and low frequency control, vocal projection, support alignment and arytenoidal empowerment. A dedicated phase will be devoted to repertoire with our distinguished pianist Maestro Stefano Adabbo, former pianist for Teatro alla Scala di Milano and Teatro La Fenice di Venezia. All sessions are professionally video recorded and photographed, giving you lasting material for auditions, websites and social media.

Your transformation culminates in a two part Gala Concert: the first half features opera arias and duets, the second celebrates beloved Christmas carols. The official diploma presentation follows. Audience members are invited to attend in glamorous 1920s attire, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that embodies the spirit of the Old School. A full professional recording of your performance is included.
