Opera Past Performances
The Department of Voice & Opera performs two fully-staged operas each year – one in the fall and one in the spring – in collaboration with University Productions (the producing arm of SMTD). These performances are of the highest caliber, and include both classics from every language and innovative, new works.
Below is a list of operas that have been previously performed at the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.
