About
Adam Holthaus, tenor, just completed his Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from the Eastman School of Music. Through the Eastman Opera Theater, he has performed in many operas including, Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites as L’Aumônier, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas as Aeneas, Sondheim’s Into the Woods as Jack, and chorus in Catan’s Florencia en el Amazonas. In addition, he was a recent soloist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra as well as the Akron Wind Symphony. In 2022 he spent his summer in Graz, Austria at the American Institute for Musical Studies (AIMS) studying and performing German lieder. This summer he will be performing with Finger Lakes Opera as Gherardo in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi. He will be pursuing a Master’s of Music degree in the fall at University of Houston. In his free time, he loves to cook, garden, and watch football and baseball.
I try to create a welcoming and supportive environment where students feel comfortable to experiment and grow their voice. It is my belief that a teacher's goal and job is to give the student the tools and understanding of how their voice functions so that they no longer need me.
Bachelor's of Voice Performance and Opera from the Eastman School of Music
I seek to give the student exercises and tools to understand how their voice works in a replicable way. In our lessons we will focus on vocal exercises to build your understanding of how to let your voice work with as little effort as possible. Generally, this includes a large focus on breathing and support. Whether you are a student who is looking to get cast in a school show or an adult who has always wanted to learn to sing, the strategies are all the same.
