Opera conductor and impresario John Moriarty graduated from New England Conservatory in 1952 during a postwar enrollment surge, when great singing casts were easy to assemble for memorable school productions. Over the years, intermixed with his work at professional opera companies, Moriarty returned to NEC to rebuild and lead the school's opera studies program. He continues to teach as a member of NEC's collaborative piano and vocal coaching faculties.
The longevity of Moriarty's influence on opera studies and the production of successful opera careers is unparalleled, and is celebrated throughout Reunion weekend. Experience Moriarty's philosophy of vocal presentation firsthand in today's masterclass with current NEC voice majors.
