These performances incorporate costumes, scenery, stage acting and sometimes dancing.<\/p>\n<p>Opera singers come from all over the country and the world, so traveling and being away from home are a big part of the lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, for an opera singer, advancing means working with increasingly prestigious companies, becoming known and earning more money.<\/p>\n<p>To gain experience, aspiring opera singers do as many performances as they can in school, community theater or opera company choruses. The more one participates in productions, the greater the opportunity to learn from other artists.<\/p>\n<p>The development of the artist is something that is created little by little and for them you must have experiences on stage.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>Laura Viera A:<\/strong> <\/span>How did you develop professionally?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>Claraliz Mora:<\/strong><\/span> I was fortunate to have a father who is also dedicated to the same and he encouraged me a lot in that sense.

She has performed for radio and for national and international television.<\/p>\n<p>At the age of 23 she is invited to join the musical companies Amigos de la Zarzuela and Identity Productions in New York City singing in zarzuela and opera productions, beginning here her international career as a singer.<\/p>\n<p>A successful opera singer is someone who is self-motivated and self-encouraging, works well with others and loves to learn. The opera singer has to love learning in this career because it is about learning new music, stories, languages and staging.<\/p>\n<p>They also have to be adaptable. It is very important to be as versatile as possible, to know who you are as an artist so you can create as many opportunities as you can.<\/p>\n<p>Motivation is key, especially for students. They need to create your own opportunity, not wait for someone to come to you.<\/p>\n<p>She is really proud of being able to fulfill herself in important aspects of her life. To be able to fulfill herself as an artist, as a wife, as a mom and to be able to fulfill herself as a woman.<\/p>\n<p>She has performed as a soloist in different festivals and international theaters such as The Oratorio Festival of the State of Veracruz, The Antonio Ortiz Tirado Festival of Sonora (Mexico); the show Antolog\u00eda de un Charro de Albuquerque (USA), tours with the show Bellas Artes a todas partes and besides singing she has played the harp.<\/p>\n<p>In the Festival Amigos de la Zarzuela she sang the role of La Duquesa Carolina y Casta in the zarzuelas Luisa Fernanda and La verbena de la Paloma.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>Passion for music<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Claralitz is passionate about music. Classical and Latin American music fills her heart.<\/p>\n<p>That is why she is part of the trio Sol Latino.

In any case, pursuing this career requires courage.<\/p>\n<p>Opera singers must have a working knowledge of the most popular languages for operatic performance: Italian, German and French.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to musical training, aspiring opera singers are encouraged to take a dance class, an improvisation class or a drama class.<\/p>\n<p>Opera singers begin training at a very early age. It is also important to sing in auditoriums or local pieces and to take private singing lessons from the best teachers you can afford.<\/p>\n<p>The opera season is a varied and intense period for singers.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that during downtime, opera singers are always studying for their next concert. They spend a lot of time studying. There is always something to learn, something to research, something to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>Opera singers work with the artistic director, music director, general director, stage managers, stage managers, assistant stage managers, orchestra musicians, accompanists and, of course, other singers in the company.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\"><strong>Her instrument: the harp<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing we would like to clarify is that the harp is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17213\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17213\" style=\"width: 374px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-solkes_horizontal wp-image-17213\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/claralizmora-2212_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/claralizmora-2212_07.jpg 620w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/claralizmora-2212_07-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/claralizmora-2212_07-299x480.jpg 299w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/claralizmora-2212_07-374x601.jpg 374w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sara Budwani for Unsplah \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first harps developed from the hunting bow.
