Abstract

This portfolio contains documented interviews, reviews, profiles and programme notes written during an internship in music criticism. The internship was undertaken primarily in Europe, but also in North America. A specific focus on opera criticism has been a primary objective.

Section I contains an introduction, which offers an overview of the critical internship project, its organization and execution. A subsequent essay explores my perspectives on opera criticism, as developed throughout the internship. Section IT comprises a series of interviews which were conducted during the internship period in Europe. Sections III and IV contain music criticism written between September 1992 and March 1994.
