Ms. Blazer will be in San Francisco performing in The Thomashefskys with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony. She is a veteran of the Broadway stage, and was most recently seen as the Old Lady in New York City Opera's production of Candide.
The theme of the Master Class will be "Metamorphosis of Style," with a focus on teaching singers to become flexible vocal artists, move among different musical genres, and use not just vocal technique but also diction, musicianship and characterization.
Note: Singers who will work onstage with Ms. Blazer have already been selected.
