OPERA MISSION STATEMENT

The Voice and Opera Theater program exists to promote vocal music of the highest caliber. We believe that opera and vocal music are a living and essential art form that provokes, thrills, and transforms human lives through its unique combination of music and storytelling. We encourage the development of young musical artists, as well as cultivate the audiences of the future. We build community to ensure the success of our students as they become practitioners, teachers, and leaders of the future.

CENDRILLON

This fall, we invite you to step into the witty world of Cendrillon by Paulin Viardot’s delightful reimagining of the classic Cinderella tail. Composed by one of the 19th centuries, most influential female musicians, Sanrio sparkles with humor, romance and elegant melodies. Our production is set in the 1950s with a pop art theme. It features a playful Liberto and a cast of vibrant characters, making it a perfect introduction to opera for audiences of all ages! Don’t miss this enchanting opera that celebrates the power of transformation, self discovery, and the endearing magic of music. Sung in French with English titles.
