Featuring 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 students, this will be one of Jacques Offenbach鈥檚 popular operetta productions, 鈥淟a Vie Parisienne.鈥  The performances will take place Friday, April 21, and Saturday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, April 23, at 3 p.m. at the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall.

The event will be presented by the 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Opera Theatre under the direction of Dr. Thomas Rowell, music director and associate professor.

The annual event is open to the public and tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for senior citizens, 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 students, faculty and staff.

鈥淭he operetta La Vie Parisienne will be sung in French with English subtitles, which will be very audience friendly,鈥 Rowell explained. 鈥淭his production will feature the young, talented cast of 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 students from not only the music department but from other academic disciplines as well. This will be a great full-scale production.鈥

The production will feature dandies competing for the affection of a well-known actress, servants masquerading as aristocrats, a confused Swedish baron and his wife, a saucy Brazilian millionaire, along with memorable tunes and raucous can-can dancing combined with much humor. 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 students participating in the production will get a wealth of experience from this performance opportunity.

鈥淲e make it a fun and inviting learning experience for our students,鈥 Rowell said. 鈥淥ur students get experience in designing costumes, sets and helping with every aspect of the production. Many of our students, like 2012 graduate Nicholas Brownlee, a bass-baritone who one year ago was one of the five finalists in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, have had great career opportunities. He received professional leading roles with the Mobile Opera while as a student. We are pleased with the work we are doing to prepare our students for their future careers in performance and music education.鈥
