A Message from Odds Bodkin to Arts Presenters:It is with no small amount of glee that I present to you Roy Stevens and Annalisa Winberg--operatic singers, polyglots, and master educators. From The Metropolitan Opera in New York to Teatro alla Scala in Milano, these two have sung their way across the world. Now, their formidable talents—singing in styles from opera to “pops”, engaging young people, and being unpretentious and downright funny—can be yours. Many operatic artists, when confronted with a group of young people, simply “sing at” them. Roy and Annalisa talk to them, sing for them and educate them, while putting on an extraordinary show. Master stylists, they vocalize from Britney Spears to Elvis to The Phantom to Tosca—all the while demonstrating and introducing the amazing dynamics of the human voice. And in so many languages! Italian. German. French. Russian. Czech. Hungarian. And if that’s not enough, they are good storytellers, too. I can attest to that. Combine literature, world history, music, foreign languages and fun into one educational experience, and your students will emerge entertained and engaged. I hope you’ll take a moment to look through Roy and Annalisa’s brochure and consider inviting this warm, classy couple to your school. Click on their link to find out more. You won’t be disappointed. ---Odds Bodkin |
