Linfield College vocal students will present fully staged scenes from beloved operas and musicals on Sunday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium in Melrose Hall at Linfield.
The Linfield Opera Theatre will present “From Mozart to Rodgers and Hammerstein – Comic Scenes from Classic Operas and Musical Theatre.” The varied program will contrast excerpts from comic and witty operas by Mozart with scenes from beloved musicals and cutting-edge new compositions. Program highlights include famous duets from Mozart’s “Magic Flute” and “Don Giovanni” and the intricate comedy of errors from the finale of the “Marriage of Figaro.” The musical theater selections will include scenes from the Tony Award-winning “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” Monty Python’s “Spamalot,” and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic “Cinderella.”
The scenes are directed by Anton Belov, assistant professor of music, and Hannah Penn, adjunct professor of music, with musical preparation by Susan McDaniel and Anne Britt.
