Student Snapshot: Abby Duell ’20

Seattle native Abby Duell ’20 has dreamed of singing onstage she was a young child. As a music-performance major at Dickinson, she enjoys the individualized support and high-level instruction she receives on a small campus that’s a just few hours’ drive from international arts mecca New York City. And in between classes, lessons, practices and performances, she also finds time to get involved in Dickinson’s theatre department, work in the Residence Life & Housing office, enjoy the great outdoors and study advanced Italian—a big plus for an aspiring opera singer. Abby even realized a lifelong dream when she got involved in Italian opera performances last year as a study-abroad student in Bologna, Italy, where she took most of her classes in Italian. Abby discusses those experiences and more, including her little-known hobby, her fascination with tiny houses, the book she gifts to friends and how she decided to concentrate on music, rather than theatre.
