Students learned about the background and musical features of the Florentine's upcoming performance of Benjamin Britten's chamber opera Albert Herring. The opera company's four studio artists presented short scenes from the opera to set the stage.
The students also had the opportunity to interact with the costume and makeup designers for the show. A few students got to experience stage make up and wig fitting just like the opera singers!
Fifty Reagan music students from all of the performing ensembles will be attending Albert Herring this Friday at Vogel Hall in the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Milwaukee. Special thanks to Education & Outreach Coordinator Sarah Jones for creating and sustaining such a wonderful partnership with the Vera J. Zilber Music Department!
