Opera Workshop

Singers in the Opera Workshop perform opera and musical comedy both in selected scenes from many operas and in fully staged productions. Fully staged scenes are presented each semester with piano. In selected years, a full length opera in collaboration with the Southern Maine Symphony Orchestra and the USM Theatre Department is presented. In March 2001, USM presented Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in a fully costumed and staged performance with orchestra sung in English.

Ellen Chickering directs the Opera Workshop.
