Philip Kuttner
I have conducted 24 operas for North Bay Opera (Fairfield), and personally coached each cast member. I have guest conducted four operas for Berkeley Opera. I have also coached many singers individually. I was on the music staff of San Francisco Opera for three years, and wrote and edited the Opera's supertitle scripts for 17 years. I worked as an opera coach at Peabody Conservatory (Baltimore) and Indiana University School of Music, where I also accompanied singers in the studios of Margaret Harshaw, Eileen Farrell, Nicola Rossi-Lemeni, and Virginia Zeani.
