On today’s episode, R.J. is joined by Keith Colclough, the Assistant Professor of Voice and the Director of Opera. Colclough received his undergraduate degree from Pepperdine, and then went on to win the Fulbright fellowship to Mannheim, Germany, and later on he was also instructed by the Tanglewood Music Center and the Music Academy of the West, amongst others. His performance credits include but are not limited to solo performances at the LA Philharmonic and Opera Santa Barbara, and later his directing credits would include Pepperdine Opera classics such as Gianni Schicchi, Dido and Aeneas, and Die Fledermaus.
Colclough discusses his experience and passion for opera, including how he himself came to the art and how he encourages students to find their own voices. The struggles and triumphs of online learning are delved into, specifically how they relate to the opera program’s upcoming performance of Cendrillon. According to Colclough, the dedication and talent of these students has been remarkable through this process, and it is not a performance to miss!
