Opera coaching remains a mystery to many musicians. While an opera coach (or rptiteur) is principally tasked with ensuring singers sing the right notes and words, the coachs purview extends well beyond pitches and pronunciation. The opera coach must have a full understanding of human physiognomy and the human voice, as well as a knowledge of the many languages used in Western vocal music and over four centuries of opera repertoire all to recognize what must happen for success when a singer steps on stage.\n\.
