Directed by Jane Munson-Berg, assistant professor of music, and conducted by Dr. Andrew Campbell, associate professor of music, Opera Scenes consists of small portions of larger operas. The selections are chosen to showcase the specific talents of voice students and provide the opportunity for them to function in an ensemble as soloists, while acting and singing in the refined classical style that they have been studying.
The scenes will include Act III of “Hansel and Gretel,” which addition to SBU students will feature local children who participate the SBU Bel Canto Voice Class, including Lorna and Ben Jenkins, Claire Schnapp and Jerica Fast. Also presented will be scenes from “Così fan tutte” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, “The Mikado” by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan and “La Traviata” by Giuseppe Verdi.
