Suny Purchase Opera

The Opera Performance/Vocal Studies Department at Purchase College is a small, highly selective and unique program especially designed to train and mentor serious young singers in their pursuit of a career in professional classical singing. This is achieved through a highly disciplined and completely integrated curriculum taught by a talented, committed and caring faculty, all of whom are or were active, first class performing artists. An opinion in part shared by Classical Singer Magazine which awarded Chair of the department and internationally renowned tenor Jacque Trussel, Stage Director of the Year, and faculty member Joan Krueger, Vocal Coach of the Year.
