Famous opera characters visit a TV talk show in a spoof by Milton Granger to discuss the topic “My Dad Works for My Boyfriend.” The three characters from Verdi’s Rigoletto bring operatic passion to the subject.
The Workshop also performs scenes from Granger’s zany Peter Rabbit in the Garden of Doom. Composer Seymour Barab provides more musical mirth, including some four-part harmony on 1950s tunes, as well as deconstructing the hysterics of Bizet’s Carmen in a staged excerpt from his Opera Plotz.
The Opera Workshop is directed by music faculty member Elisabeth Harrington. Tickets are $7/$3 and free to HSU students with an i.d. from the HSU Ticket Office (826-3928) or at the door. Produced by the HSU Music Department. For more information: HSUMusic.blogspot.com.
