A Comedic Trilogy
Three delightful comedies comprise a triple bill beginning with Paul Hindemith’s absurdist miniature, Hin und Zurück. Jacques Offenbach’s Monsieur Choufleuri, a spoof of a nineteenth century social climber and an operatic performance gone off the rails is followed by Gallantry, Douglas Moore’s satire of television’s newly created art form, the soap opera. Michael Albano directs, Sandra Horst conducts, Lighting and Set Design by Fred Perruzza.

Disobedience
Since its inception, the Opera Division’s student composer collective has tackled issues of historical and social significance through the creation of new opera. In Disobedience, art itself comes under scrutiny as the advocates of tradition confront progressive voices who desire a theatre which will not lecture society but rather reflect it. Michael Albano directs and Spencer Kryzanowski conducts.
