Rodney Miller

An American bass-baritone who has spent as much of his working life in university offices as on stage, Rodney E. Miller holds a doctorate from Illinois State University, a master's from Indiana University, a bachelor's from West Texas State University and a repertoire of nearly fifty roles that takes in Méphistophélès, Figaro, Don Pasquale and Emile de Becque. He directed vocal studies at New York University and served as a dean at the University of Nebraska at Kearney and at Wichita State University, where in March 2005 he took part in a performance of Aida given by Wichita forces together with State Opera Stara Zagora.
