Performance recording" is a hands-on workshop of the NordOpera network, offering the participating students theoretical knowledge and practical training. It is a week dedicated not only to vocal mastery but also to one of the most important tools of the modern performer: a professional performance recording.

The participants received masterclasses from experienced lecturers from Scandinavia and the Baltic countries: Ulrika Helena Tenstam Juvas (Norway), Prof. Asta Krikščiūnaitė and Prof. Algirdas Janutas from the LMTA Department of Vocal Performance, Luca De Marchi (Norway). The intensive programme combined vocal technique, interpretation, stage expression and work in front of the camera.

A special part of the course was a lecture on how to film a professional performance suitable for submission to opera house auditions delivered by Mantas Šatkus, a lecturer and cinematographer at LMTA’s National Film School (KIMO), who introduced participants to the practical principles of filming, lighting, sound, and visual aesthetics that help a performer appear as compelling on screen as on a live stage.
