OPERA WORKSHOP is a growing part of the vocal area at Asbury College. Students generally audition at the end of the Spring Semester for the opera to be performed in the coming school year. Our most recent opera productions have been Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors (2006-2007) and Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado (2005-2006). Coming in 2007-2008 will be Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel. Join us on February 1 & 2 at 7:30 pm in the Dodridge-Holland Theatre! If you have questions about Opera at Asbury, please contact either the Music Director for Hansel and Gretel, Dr. Beatrice Holz, or the Coordinator of Vocal Studies, Professor Virginia Bowles.
