Musical Theater Singing is the newest specialty in Poznań Academy of Music. It was established in 2017 as a response to the marked increase in popularity of the genre, which has been seen in Polish musical and dramatic theaters for several years. This originally American theatrical form combines singing, spoken dialogue and dance. It is an extremely stylistically diverse genre, synthesizing a variety of musical forms, from classical to entertainment and contemporary. Studies in Musical Theater Singing are offered at the Institute of Vocal Studies in the Faculty of Composition, Conducting, Vocal Performance, Music Theory and Artistic Education. The course is available at the Bachelor level in a four-year cycle.
