HILDEGARDE: Creating an Opera

Sarah Kirkland Snider’s first opera, on the life of Saint Hildegarde von Bingen, is slated for performance in 2025. This course will give students a chance to live in the musical language and vocal style of Hildegarde, to forge their own creative/musical responses, to help develop the eight lead vocal roles of the opera. Guest lecturer/instructors will include members of the professional team, including the stage director Elkhanah Pulitzer. The final presentation will showcase both student-created scenes and scenes from Kirkland Snider’s opera, with a small ensemble conducted by Gabriel Crouch.
