West Bay Opera
Shane Troll
Shane Troll is very excited to be making his Bay Area operatic debut in
West Bay Opera's production of Mahagonny. Shane completed work
at C.S.U. Chico where he graduated with honors, receiving a M.A.
in conducting and a B.A. in vocal performance and music education.
While at C.S.U. Chico, Shane appeared in many opera performances,
including Gianni Schicchi, Copland's The Tender Land,
Menotti's The Old Maid and the Thief,
and Così fan tutte. Shane also divided his time with his
conducting duties, overseeing three vocal ensembles and assisting with the
Chico Symphony. Recently, Shane has been focusing his attention on the
studying of symphonic scores in hopes of either continuing his scholastic
career with a Ph.D. or applying his current talents to education. If given
the opportunity, Shane would like to obtain a degree in musicology studying
the music of Benjamin Britten, whose music has become a source of great
musical inspiration and love.
