Come share the laughter and sorrow of these classic operatic works. Delight in the antics of Gilbert and Sullivan's endearing characters from fairies to high nobles of the court in Iolanthe. Then get lost in the tragic story of Carmen set to Bizet's sumptuous music. Michele McBride, director of Iolanthe and Chair of Opera Education says "these two operas are perfect bookends for an evening's journey through comedy, tragedy, and incredible music. Hear familiar tunes you never knew you really knew."
