Micaela Baranello
Dr. Micaela Baranello joined the Department of Music in 2017. Her research concerns opera and operetta from the nineteenth century to the present day. Her book-in-progress, “The Operetta Empire,” is a study of how operetta represented questions of nation, class, and gender in early twentieth-century Vienna. She is also beginning a study of contemporary opera staging, supported by the Fulbright Summer Humanities Stipend. Her publications include articles in the Journal of the American Musicological Society, Cambridge Opera Journal, Opera Quarterly, Nineteenth-Century Music Review, and The New York Times, where she contributes features and reviews to the Arts and Arts & Leisure sections.
She received a PhD in musicology from Princeton University, where she was supported by a Fulbright study grant in Austria and the Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellowship. She also holds a BA in music from Swarthmore College and was previously McPherson/Eveilard Postdoctoral Fellow at Smith College in Northampton, MA.
