Area of proposed thesis
Stephen Storace: essentially a contextual study of his first English mainpiece, The Haunted Tower.
My interest in Storace stems from productions of his two Viennese operas, Gli sposi malcontenti and Gli equivoci, by Bampton Classical Opera, an established professional company specialising in 18th-century rarities and of which I am joint founder and artistic director.
