In this online creative website you can learn about my life in theatre and opera as a stage director, singer, actor, and educator.

There are photographs from some of my recent productions in the Portfolio section and you can view my biography, resume and work experience in the About Me section. There's even a modest Personal section with some of my favorite quotations, poems and sayings if you're interested.

I'm available for engagements as a guest stage director, actor and dramatic coach, and you can find my contact information on the Contact page, but feel free to send me an email even if you just want to get in touch.

Thanks for the visit!

Teatro Communale di Niccolo Piccinni, Bari, Italy

"The applause after the arias, and the repeated calls on stage
for the singers, the conductor, and the stage director, showed
just how much the public enjoyed the performance."

Nicola Sbisa
La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno

"The best staging of Cosi I have ever seen...."

Richard Boldrey, author of
Guide to Operatic Roles and Arias

The Threepenny Opera

"Over the years I have seen several productions
of this almost impossible piece and none of them
came even close to Noel’s vision. I simply
couldn’t believe that I was watching students
and not professional singing actors with years
of experience dealing with the ambiguities
of Brecht and Weill."

Fabrizio Melano, Stage Director
The Metropolitan Opera

Little Women

"Noel Koran gave the audience a luminous production.
It would be hard to imagine a professional show
any more effective."

Dorothy Andries,
The Pioneer Press
