Biography

I am part of the research project “Turning Points and Continuity: The Changing Roles of Performance in Society 1880-1925”, funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) and coordinated by the Dept. of Musicology and Performance studies at Stockholm University. The project aims to revisit and re-interpret a period celebrated as the breakthrough of modern theatre and my focus will be on operetta and the border between theatre/opera/and operetta.
