Tessitura

Screen Shot 2025-03-22 at 12.17.41 PM.png

Tessitura explores the entangled ways that voice, character, and

gender are continuously reformulated in opera by those who

contend with these connections daily. Through the voices of

singers Breanna Sinclairé, Lucas Bouk, Katherine Goforth, and

musicologist Dr. Naomi André, contemporary narratives weave

between opera’s historical conventions around gender, illuminating

the traditions and transformations shaping the field today.
