The Southeast Department of Music is pleased to present Opera Scenes on April 26.

The Opera Workshop performance will feature a diverse program—from spoofy comedy to dire drama—from seven iconic operas such as Pirates of Penzance, Gianni Schicchi, Die Fledermaus, Don Giavonni, and La forza del destino. Some scenes will be presented in English, some in the original Italian. The Opera Workshop is directed by Dr. Christopher Goeke and Dr. Leslie Jones.
