Dr. Lawrence Zazzo, an accomplished operatic countertenor and Handel scholar, will give an overview on the reception of the countertenor voice, reflecting on early modern views on the erotics of the castrato and contextualising the modern reception of countertenor performances of both Baroque and new music within the context of his own 30 year career as a performer, teacher and scholar, with some reflection on his ongoing creative practice research projects.
His talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
