In our 563rd Art Gathering, we are visiting opera singer Derya Kayaalp.

Derya Kayaalp is an opera singer and vocal coach living in Istanbul. She began her musical education at the Vocal Department of Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory High School, and then completed her university education in opera at SUNY Purchase College in the United States.

Throughout her education, she had the opportunity to work with teachers who have served at leading art institutions around the world, such as the Metropolitan Opera, Juilliard, Manhattan School of Music, and Eastman School of Music. In 2016, she made her first opera album recording, performing the role of Ann Putnam in Robert Ward's Crucible with the Purchase Symphony Orchestra.

For over a decade, she has been providing training in vocal technique, repertoire, stage preparation, conservatory preparation, and singing diction in Italian, German, French, English, and Turkish. She teaches her students to sing in a healthy, free, and musical way, using their bodies and voices more consciously.

Derya's Studio provides one-on-one training for opera students, conservatory candidates, and individuals who want to improve their singing technique.
