Topics in Music History and Culture: Race and Performers of Musical Theatre, 1700 to Now

MUSIC 3016

This course looks at how race has shaped the careers of performers of musical theatre in Europe and the US from the eighteenth-century to today. European and American opera and Broadway musicals will be considered side by side, as will the performance of white, Black, Asian, and Latino identities. Of particular interest are the changing (and stubbornly unchanging) standards and stereotypes that shape individual performing careers in different times and places.
