Also getting ready are Eastman vocal performance graduate students Jeong Eun Joo ’08E (MM) (Euridice) and Erin Gonzalez (Orfeo), receiving a final check from makeup designer Anne Ford-Coates of New York City. The January production at Rochester’s Harro East Ballroom was a collaboration of Eastman Opera Theatre and two area performance companies, Geomantics Dance Theatre and the vocal chamber ensemble Madrigalia.
