Class Note 1999
Issue
September-October 2021
Hello, ’99s!
I am writing to you on an extremely hot summer day, trying to imagine what our lives will be like when you read this in the fall. I hope you have all had an enriching and fulfilling summer. Please get in touch and share your news!
This month we have news of another author in our midst. Sean Parr has written his first book, titled Vocal Virtuosity: The Origins of the Coloratura Soprano in Nineteenth-Century Opera, published by Oxford University Press. Sean writes, “I currently teach music history, voice performance, conducting, and general humanities courses as professor of music at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. This book represents 14 years of research and writing on a topic that merges my interests in opera history with my experience performing as an operatic tenor. During the 2021-22 academic year I will be back at Dartmouth as an American Council of Learned Societies Frederick Burkhardt Fellow, in residence as a visiting scholar and working on a new book project on Wagnerian singing.” Congratulations, Sean, on your new book and on your upcoming position at Dartmouth. Be sure to send us some stories from Hanover!
Until next time!
