Fall Master Class Series:
An Afternoon With Sarah Stephens

Join St. Croix Valley Opera for a fall Master Class with New York artist manager Sarah Stephens, co-founder of Stephens Nicolson Artists Management. Sarah will lead a live mock audition with real-time feedback, followed by an open Q&A on artist management and navigating the professional opera industry. This is not a technique class. It is a rare look at how the business of singing actually works, from the person who decides who gets signed. Sunday, October 4, 2026, 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Rivertown Inn, Stillwater, MN. Only 40 tickets are available for this event.
