Opera

The Opera Theatre program is dedicated to the principle of providing students as many opportunities as possible to sing leading roles. Operas produced in recent years include La Traviata, Carmen, The Ballad of Baby Doe, Falstaff, Tales of Hoffman, The Elixir of Love, Susannah, Così fan tutte, Albert Herring, The Tender Land, Romeo and Juliet, Hansel and Gretel, Street Scene, The Magic Flute, Die Fledermaus, La Périchole, and The Marriage of Figaro.

Interested students are also given the opportunity to learn set construction, costuming, and lighting along with singing in the productions. Performances are held in the modern 1,000-seat Turner Auditorium and in other venues on- and off-campus. The opera theatre produces a full-length major opera each spring and usually several offerings each year during the popular SFA Summer Opera program.
