Teaching

Docendo discimus | By teaching, we learn

Besides performing on stage, teaching has been playing an important role in Krisztián Cser’s life since 2020. As a training manager teacher of the Institute for Theatre and Film in Budapest, he endeavours to pass his professional experience and versatile knowledge to the young, entrant singers within an educational training programme.

After finishing the ‘private singer’ major, students will be able to breath correctly as necessary for singing, to intone clearly, to analyse the pieces of music played in sense of structure and harmony, to create harmony between the lyrics and the piece of music, to play the age- and ability-adjusted pieces of music in a way that is faithful to the sheet music, stylish, mirrors the musical connections, segmented sensibly, and expressive, to practice in a technically and musically mindful and analytic way, and to learn pieces of music by heart individually.

Detailed information about the trainings and how to apply can be found on the website of the Institute for Theatre and Film:

The aim of the initiative is to build a bridge between music education and professional opera practice, and to contribute to strengthening the next generation of Hungarian opera singers in the long term. Successful applicants will be mentored by artists appointed by OPERA in the training of the young people they have discovered and taught. The mentors will occasionally attend classes and departmental concerts, inspiring the students with their personal example. The professional director of the program is Dr. Éva Bátori, and the two mentors are Krisztián Cser and István Kovácsházi. Details about the mentoring program are available by clicking on the image. The program is conducted in Hungarian, so applications can only be submitted in Hungarian.
