University of Kentucky Opera Theatre
Director and Executive Producer Dr. Everett McCorvey
University of Kentucky Opera Theatre began in 1955 under the direction of voice teacher Phyllis Jenness and director of the UK Symphony Orchestra Phillip Miller. Since then it has risen to its position today as one of the leading opera programs in North America, largely because of the boundless energy and vision of its director Dr. Everett McCorvey.
