INTERNSHIPS
There is nothing like on the job experience and those who are interested in beginning a career in performing arts management may apply for an internship. Internships are offered at the Lyric for high school seniors, and college juniors and seniors. Students are selected each semester to participate in a three-four month semester internship (Fall, September-December; Spring, January-May), Summer (June-August) or full academic year (September-May).
Internships may be available in marketing/public relations, education, production, programming, and general theater management. All interns, even those within specific fields, are required to have some basic involvement in each fundamental part of the theater (Administration, Box Office, Front of the House, Production and Marketing). Also, each intern must complete a project during their time at the Lyric. Interns may attend performances, free of charge (space available), during their internship.
For more information, please call 410-685-5086, ext 201.

Richard Crittenden established The Crittenden Opera Studio in New York City to help aspiring opera singers learn and refine their craft and to prepare them for a professional operatic career.
Each summer two major 2-week opera workshops are held. The first Washington, D.C., session also contains a stage director's seminar. Opera workshops and Master Classes have been given in other parts of the country in association with a sponsoring group. Summer Opera Workshops are used to teach singers the necessary skills for the opera stage - acting, stage and rehearsal techniques; awareness of self, the music, and the drama; practical thought processes that enable singers to make artistic dramatic decisions.
Victorian Lyric rehearses and performs in Maryland. They use an auditioned, volunteer opera chorus.
