Die Meisterkurse von Lucja sind für mich immer wieder eine ganz besondere Erfahrung. Was sie einzigartig macht und von allen anderen Kursen, die ich besucht habe, abhebt, ist die Verbindung aus höchster Professionalität und tiefem Menschsein. Wir arbeiten intensiv an Stimme, Technik und Interpretation - und zugleich auf einer persönlichen Ebene, die weit darüber hinausgeht.
In Meißen habe ich gespürt, wie wertvoll diese Gemeinschaft ist: Jede und jeder zeigt sich verletzlich, vertraut sich der Gruppe an - und genau dadurch entsteht ein Raum, in dem man wachsen kann. Diese Atmosphäre schenkt nicht nur künstlerische Impulse, sondern wirkt lange nach und begleitet mich immer.
Lucja führt mit unendlicher Geduld, Wissen und Herzblut durch diesen Prozess. Sie fordert, fördert und öffnet Türen - zur eigenen Stimme und zu einer inneren Freiheit, die man mit auf die Bühne mitnimmt.

Lucja Zarzycka's summer master workshop is where opera singers acquire their wings. This event is ideal for all opera singers, regardless of experience level. Lucja has a gift from God and is a big professional teacher. During my first visit to the masterclass, I was really impressed with her coaching because it was tailored to each individual. She would not skip a single minute of the lesson in an effort to provide the singer with as many helpful hints as possible. The most crucial aspect of it is that the singer leaves the lesson feeling energized and prepared to answer any questions. Lucja's teaching style is quite structured; in addition to providing technical and physical guidance, it can also help singers overcome mental obstacles that may prevent them from achieving their objectives.
My own experience was challenging when I initially attended the workshop, because I was transitioning from mezzo-soprano to soprano at the time. I was aware that it was a vulnerable time for me, but I was blessed that colleagues were kind and helpful. I felt safe. In addition I had the perfect environment for me to perform my first soprano arias in a welcoming and energetic atmosphere. There was only time for working, growing, and feeling valued and loved — no space for anxiety or frustration.
Additionally, at her masterclasses, Lucja offers opportunity to work with talented pianists who gives each singer the chance to prepare effective arias for auditions but also to try them out at the final concert. As an added bonus, the singer gets to work with stage director Hugo, who provides significant assistance in interpretation, so at the end, the singer is getting prepared arias that are not only technically resembling but also musically and dramatically well worked .
For me personally, this masterclass is the time when my voice is receiving rehabilitation. It has a significant impact on opera singers, especially professional ones.
