【 摘 要 】

One operatic role and two vocal recitals were performed in lieu of a written dissertation.The operatic role was Don Alfonso in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Così fan tutte. It demonstrated knowledge of classical style, mastery of stagecraft, and proficiency in Italian. The first recital, Green Springs the Tree, explored diverse themes – including political oppression, war, nostalgia, folk song, and nature imagery – through twentieth-century Russian, Czech, British, and American works. The second recital, Liederkreis, explored the song cycle through three contrasting representative examples of the genre.Thursday, March 24, 2016, 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 26, 2016, 8:00 p.m., Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
