A recent graduate of Harvard University, Ms. Myhrum has spent the past few years working variously as a theater director, documentary producer, set designer, Shakespearean actor, bhangra dancer, writer, and puppeteer. In 2007 she assistant directed and choreographed the BOC production of Hansel and Gretel, having begun her work on operatic repertoir in 2006 when she directed the Harvard Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players' production of Yeomen of the Guard. In the summer of 2007 she collaborated with BOC members Katie Drexel and Brooke Larimer to write The Countess of Seville, an adaptation of the Beaumarchais Figaro Trilogy. The show debuted under her stage direction in October. Ms. Myhrum was elected to the BOC Board of Directors in the beginning of 2008; to date she has worked on the production crew for six BOC performances. She looks forward to mounting more ambitious productions while continuing to reach out to new audiences. Ms. Myhrum is extremely grateful to BOC for providing her with the opportunity to learn more about the power and contemporary relevance of opera, and is in awe of the multi-talented singers who hold this company together.
