b'The Derivative Duo, Barbara Glenn and Susan Nivert, are feminist comedienne opera singers who live in Seattle, Washington, and who have traveled across the United States for over the past twenty years, singing parodies of opera songs that queer, ironize, and feminize the themes and style of "high opera." The Derivative Duo also parody the iconic diva with their costumes which are high camp, both glamorous and a mockery of glamour.\\n- Walter Eugene Grodzik\\nBarb and Susan found home in Seattle over 4 decades ago. With background stories that highlight the struggles of gay and lesbian Americans during a time when change was a promise but adjustments took time, they both found a love for each other and a love to entertain. Their performances sparked a unique and innovative way to addresses social concerns that affected the lives of gay and lesbian individuals through a confident feminist voice and an extraordinary talent with words and lyrics. \\n\\nCDs on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=popular&rh=p_32%3ADerivative+Duo&ref=dp_byline_sr_music_1\\nTo know more about Walter Eugene Grodzik\\u2019s dissertation on The Derivative Duo:\\nhttps://drama.washington.edu/research/graduate/parodies-paradox-pair-odivas-oral-history-scrapbook-feminist-operas-derivative-duo'
