Soprano Stephanie McClure Adrian excels as a performer, teacher and academic. Her operatic repertoire spans contemporary heroines, including Susannah (Floyd), Abigail (Ward) and Rosina (Corigliano), as well as those in light opera, such as Hannah (Lehár), and Mabel and Aline (Gilbert and Sullivan). Dr. Adrian has performed professionally with Opera North, Light Opera of Oklahoma, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the Tulsa Oratorio Chorus and the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus. She has taught at Ohio State University, Kenyon College and Otterbein College. In 2003, the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) selected her to participate in its prestigious summer internship program alongside other top college professors. Dr. Adrian’s interest in American vocal music has led her to collaborate with composers such as Jake Hegge, John Harbison, Warren Benson, and John Corigliano, and to conduct extensive research regarding the songs of André Previn.
