Director of Text and Dramatic Studies, Dartmouth Opera Lab

I believe that Art in all its aspects is essential to life, and that Music is the life-blood of that life. Dartmouth Opera Lab invites Dartmouth students to explore and develop their interest and love of singing and performing, and broaden their study and understanding of Music in all its forms. Dartmouth College is uniquely situated to take advantage of the diversity of interests of its students, and to provide them with instruction, mentoring and opportunities to develop and deploy their musical dreams.
