Deadline extended: Nautilus Music-Theater's Wesley Balk Opera/Music-Theater Institute 2025!

Deadline extended: Nautilus Music-Theater's Wesley Balk Opera/Music-Theater Institute 2025!

What happens when a performing artist learns to sing, act, and move -- not separately, but all at once? At the Wesley Balk Opera/Music-Theater Institute, we don’t separate these disciplines. We integrate them. Because that’s where transformation happens -- where singers become true musical storytellers - artists who listen deeply, take risks, and bring their full humanity to the work. Our faculty is rigorous, compassionate, and deeply collaborative. We dismantle assumptions, open new channels of expression, and integrate voice, body, and intention in service of authentic communication. Join us in Minneapolis June 22 to July 12 - no audition required, and no age limit. Visit www.wesleybalk.org for details, with a May 16th deadline.
