Vickie Kline

Vickie Kline is a systems librarian and professor at York College of Pennsylvania -- she teaches a course in information literacy and manages the library's online information systems and website.  Before embarking on a career in libraries, her early love of opera led her to obtain a Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Music History from Pennsylvania State University.  While there, she also studied piano and harpsichord and sang in the Concert Choir.   

This is Vickie's third year with the Center Stage Opera.  In the CSO's performance of Giordano's Andrea Chenier,  she played the roles of La Contessa and L'Incredibile.   She also has sung in the CSO Chorus and narrated for a number of productions.  The opportunity to participate in live opera performances comes as an unexpected gift.    Seeing the work involved in staging operas has been an incredible learning experience for Vickie.  She views the chance to watch how professional singers create their roles as a rare privilege.

Vickie also sings with the York Symphony Chorus and plays keyboard and sings with the contemporary music team at her church.  It has been a joy to come full circle and return to her musical roots.
