articles, and videos of Baroque Opera productions during

the period of May-August, 2007, as well as attending live

productions of GIULIO CESARE (Handel) at the Lyric Opera

of Chicago, IPHIGENIE EN TAURIDE (Gluck) at the

Metropolitan Opera, and L’ISLE DE MERLIN (Gluck) at the

Spoleto Festival USA

(b). the Creative component involved devising staging for GIULIO

CESARE (Handel), to be produced by ASU Lyric Opera

Theatre. This aspect of the project was exceptionally
