Dr. Samuel Mungo is in his second year as Director of Opera Studies for Texas State University. He has been involved in opera as a director, singer and teacher for 20 years, and comes to Texas State with the dedication to foster the growth of a true Music Theatre- combining the great music of opera sung beautifully together with complete dedication to character and relationship created truthfully.
Last year for Texas State he directed Die Fledermaus, a production that had the first sellout house at the University in recent memory. Professionally he staged Die Entführung aus dem Serail for Florida Grand Opera, and produced and directed both Pirates of Penzance for Colorado Light Opera, and Trouble in Tahiti for the Boulder Opera Project. He has also served on the directing staff for Opera Colorado, San Antonio Opera, and the Rocky Mountain Cent for the Musical Arts.
As a singer, he has performed with companies throughout North America, including Vancouver Opera, Opera Theater of St. Louis, Utah Opera and Chicago Opera Theater in roles such as Don Giovanni, Gianni Schicchi and Danilo in Merry Widow.
