  The Otherness of the Self - how to curate a Seventeenth century Opera and sing all the Roles yourself. (or: -how to connect and disconnect the roles of the Baroque soprano and her postmodern Otherness. ) (or - a Voce sola in dialogo) -Is it possible to perform an opera and sing all the roles yourself? Is it even possible that we’ll come closer to the core in the music and the narrative if everything is anchored in one single person? -Can I use the interpretation of opera characters to better understand my different roles as a musician - the baroque soprano and the new music singer? - Am I two (or three, or fifty) different singers/musicians/roles depending on what genre or style I’m performing? What divides them? What ties them together? What factors determine how the voice will work, or not? - What can I use from my knowledge of early music in my practice as a performer of contemporary music, and vice versa?
