Sword training for mezzo sopranos is a means to develop the warrior physical persona. Mezzo sopranos occupy a unique position in opera. They play the role of the female as well as the male roles. These male, pants roles, require the physicality of men or boys. My sword training is designed to help each mezzo soprano develop and embody the masculine physicality necessary to convincingly portray the male charter.
