The OAC Summer Program is based on the philosophy that opera is a form of musical theater, and that good acting and performance skills are as essential to great performers as good vocal technique. Everyone who has experienced a great opera performance remembers how deeply moving it was.Great performances occur when the singer-performer communicates with a receptive audience.If an audience feels no emotional response to the action on stage, the effort was a waste for everyone. OAC develops singers as performers so that they have the skills and confidence to interpret the intentions of the composer and to communicate them to an audience.The best way to become a master of the performance craft is through immersion in multi-faceted and intense performance practice in rehearsal and in front of live audiences. The OAC Summer Program creates a positive and supportive environment where emerging singers integrate the knowledge, skills and abilities that are crucial to successful opera performance.Our faculty consists of active professionals in the field, and our stage directors, conductors, collaborative pianists, vocal and language coaches know exactly what skills are required to be a great performer. The OAC Summer Program is intentionally geared to support emerging singers as they learn, explore, create, interpret and perform in the course of six weeks.Once a singer has been cast in a role, whether for scenes or as a character in one of the productions, his or her education is uniquely focused on perfecting that role. Our professional faculty will provide directions and feedback to ensure further development of every participant’s skills in vocal technique, dramatic interpretation, movement, language, diction and musicianship, as appropriate and necessary for the individual and the role. The positive environment and intense work at the OAC Summer Program promotes the creation of constructive and lasting professional and personal relationships. Every performer is part of a team that includes the other singers, the conductor, the stage director and many backstage professionals. Being a good colleague on stage and off, pleasant to work with and respectful and respected, is a critical component to success in the performing arts. The OAC Summer program helps students perfect their skills as team players.
St. Paul's Catholic Church (Parroquia de San Pablo) is a parish church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco. The parish is located in the city of San Francisco, California, at 221 Valley Street and the corner of Church Street in the city's Noe Valley neighborhood.HistorySt. Paul's traces its history back to 1876 when George Shadbourne communicated a desire to Archbishop Joseph Alemany, OP to have a new parish established, as well as a willingness to help collect money, purchase land, and construct a parish church. Archbishop Alemany approved the request, and in 1880 a church building and a residence for the curé was built. This first church seated up to 750 people, and served approximately 200 families.In 1897, growth led the parish to construct the current 1,400 seat English Gothic structure. Construction took 14 years because the parish used "pay-as-you-go" financing on the new structure, therefore saving the parish from incurring construction debt upon completion. The new church was dedicated on 29 May 1911 by Archbishop Patrick Riordan.The church required seismic reinforcement after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. At one point, the archdiocese seriously considered closing St. Paul's because of the potential costs of reinforcing the church and adjacent buildings; this decision was later reversed. The parish sold some of the adjacent buildings and reinforced the remaining buildings, which cost approximately $8.5 million.
