Community Garden 1: Analyzing Opera Characters Using Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
Monday, 30 August, 2021

On our first installment of the Community Garden, we have Lilli Bailey-Duran presenting her research on analyzing opera characters using the Myers-Briggs personality types. She explains that this provides the modern opera singer with tools to better understand characters of the past, who become harder to relate to as time moves forward. Breaking these characters down into a simple personality can help today’s opera singers understand who it is they’re singing as and present meaningful and impactful performances.
