El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego Opera Previews

June 5-8, 2023

Explore El último sueño de Frida y Diego in a 90-minute presentation by Lucy Caplan.

Lucy Caplan is Assistant Director of Studies and a Lecturer on History and Literature at Harvard University, where she teaches classes on music, history, and culture. She is currently at work on a book, titled High Culture on the Lower Frequencies: African Americans and Opera in the Early Twentieth Century, which tells the story of how Black performers, composers, and critics redefined the genre of opera as a wellspring of antiracist activism, collective sociality, and aesthetic innovation. Lucy’s academic writing appears in the Journal of the Society for American Music, American Studies, and the collection African American Arts: Activism, Aesthetics, and Futurity. Her essays have been published in The New Yorker online and Opera News, among others, and her program notes have been commissioned by Boston Lyric Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Seattle Opera, and Lincoln Center. Lucy holds a Ph.D. in American Studies and African American Studies from Yale University.
