Masterclass
Adjudicator Ravil Atlas will hold a 2hr Masterclass on Sunday 9th April at 10 am. The location will be confirmed closer to the event. This Masterclass will specifically help the Aria finalists and those interested in furthering their careers but will prove invaluable to all Aria contestants as they watch and learn from a maestro. Ravil will focus on 'performing' your Aria by painting the scenario and adding drama and any of the arts that will help bring your Aria to life. Members of the public are welcome to observe at a cost of $15, and $10 for other NPACS Contestants.
