Experience a night out at the opera with ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ State Opera Theatre! This yearβs Fall production, βNot/Ordinary: Scenes of Life and Love,β explores the concept of love and its various formsβ passion, obsession, longing and even suffering.
βThe primary goal of the ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ State Opera Theatre is to provide a nurturing, supportive environment for students to explore the myriad avenues of vocal performance,β said Jay White, director of opera studies. βThe repertoire chosen for our productions has the skills and talents of our current students in mind. This provides opportunities to introduce new students to the art, and challenges others as they progress through the program.β
The opera repertoire includes iconic works across time: Gaetano Donizettiβs βThe Elixir of Love,β George F. Handelβs βJulius Caesar,β Wolfgang A. Mozartβs βThe Magic Flute,β and βThe Impresario,β Gioachino Rossiniβs βThe Barber of Seville,β Stephen Sondheimβs βThe Frogs,β and βSunday in the Park with George,β and Arthur Sullivanβs βPrincess Ida.β
