Dr ADELINE MUELLER
Dr Mueller received her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley with a dissertation entitled ‘Zauberkinder: Children and Childhood in Late Eighteenth-Century Singspiel and Lieder'. Her scholarly work focuses on the cultural politics of vocal and dramatic music during the German Enlightenment; musical constructions of childhood and the family; and the historical reception of the comic and popular theatre. In 2010, she organized an international conference at UC Berkeley on the reception and historiography of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte; several of the papers presented at that conference, as well as some new research undertaken since then, are slated to be published in a forthcoming issue of Opera Quarterly for which Dr Mueller will serve as guest editor.
Dr Mueller has also published and presented papers on Wagner, music and silent film, and eighteenth-century ballet.
