If you are thinking about going to Temple as a vocal performance graduate student, PLEASE PLEASE consider your options. If you are going to get another degree to get a pay raise when teaching, it's a fine. In fact, you'll have to do so little work for your degree, it's a breeze. HOWEVER, if you come to Temple thinking you'll get performance opportunity, think again. The politics abound when casting comes around and they are definitely not casting for the students good. For instance, two sopranos have been cast as double cast leads in THREE CONSECUTIVE productions. They often pre-cast, and if they person they want to be in the role doesn't even audition, they'll be forced into "call backs" to make it marginally more legitimate. And as an Undergraduate, do not expect to receive any rolls in the operas at all, you just won't. There are very fine teachers here, but overall, not a good program.
