ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ, OH– ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ State Opera Theatre kicks off their Fall production with β€œNot/Ordinary: Scenes of Life and Love” November 17-19.

Experience a night out at the opera with ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ State Opera Theatre! This year’s Fall production, β€œNot/Ordinary: Scenes of Life and Love,” explores the concept of love and its various forms– passion, obsession, longing and even suffering.

β€œThe 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,” said Jay White, director of opera studies. β€œThe 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.”

The opera repertoire includes iconic works across time: Gaetano Donizetti’s β€œThe Elixir of Love,” George F. Handel’s β€œJulius Caesar,” Wolfgang A. Mozart’s β€œThe Magic Flute,” and β€œThe Impresario,” Gioachino Rossini’s β€œThe Barber of Seville,” Stephen Sondheim’s β€œThe Frogs,” and β€œSunday in the Park with George,” and Arthur Sullivan’s β€œPrincess Ida.”
