<p>Eastman’s Voice and Opera departmental page says:“Productions feature a wide range of musical styles, most are performed in the original language, and depending on the venue, many use full orchestral accompaniment.”</p>
<p>Further, “Eastman Opera Theatre utilizes a “class blind” approach to casting, meaning that roles go to the singer with the best audition, regardless of their year in school and pending the approval of their studio voice teacher.”</p>
