Sing Les Mis!
A Mixed Vocal Style Singing & Performance Holiday
Tarifa | Southern Spain | November 2024
Check In: 9th November 2024 | Check Out: 16th November 2024
Immerse yourself in the grand and uplifting melodies of Les Misérables at November’s Sing Eat Retreat. This holiday is designed to offer a deep dive into the diverse vocal techniques applied in Les Misérables and is perfect for singers who wish to explore a new vocal style, such as learning a more contemporary sound or a contemporary singer looking to enhance their legit style.
Set in our luxurious villa in Spain, this 6 day / 7 night singing holiday is led by two professional tutors and a previous Les Misérables MD who will provide over 30 hours of singing tuition and performance rehearsal. A masterclass and mentor session with a celebrated performer will take place midweek.
The week will combine group coaching and 1-to-1 assessment using the esteemed Estill vocal training method.
Nestled on the Southern Spanish coast, you’ll have ample time to soak up the autumn sun on local beaches, explore the mountainous Spanish countryside, or take a trip with us to whale watch. This holiday is perfect for modern and classical choir members, musical theatre enthusiasts, hobby singers and Les Mis fans!
As always at Sing Eat Retreats, great fun and good food will be top of the agenda whilst you meet and work with a small group of new like-minded friends.

Travel
Flights are available from most UK and European cities to Málaga – one and a half hour’s drive from the retreat.
There are also direct flights to Gibraltar from London and Manchester. Gibraltar airport is only a 30 minute drive, once across the border.
Once you have booked your flights, we will assist you with transfers to and from the villa by putting you in touch with transfer or taxi companies and, where possible, we will co-ordinate group pick-ups once we know your travel schedules.
We will stay in contact with you to ensure that your journey is as smooth as possible.
How it Works
Days are split between group singing and rehearsals, 1 to 1 sessions, and smaller group sessions in hourly classes starting from 9am through to early evening. There will be plenty of breaks and chances for time out.
For the smaller groups sessions and 1 to 1 coaching you will be allocated to a coach that is best suited to your vocal abilities, but everyone will get a chance to work with all coaches throughout the week.
Rehearsals are the most exciting part of the day when everyone comes together to learn the repertoire for the end of week show.
