About
Christina Colanduoni is a musicologist specializing in the transnational circulation of Italian opera. Her thesis examines the movement of opera and songs in the Greek-speaking Mediterranean, especially on the island of Kerkyra (Corfu), and the reception of Greek antiquity in the early-nineteenth century. She is particularly interested in the role opera played at the Nobile Teatro di San Giacomo in the formation of Greek identity. Prior to studying at UChicago, she received a B.A. in Music History from Temple University, and an M.A. in Musicology from McGill. In her free time, Christina enjoys singing, playing tennis, and writing opera reviews for Parterre Box.
