This is an auditioned ensemble dedicated to the study and production of operas and operatic scenes. The repertoire varies year to year and is tailored to the needs and strengths of the participating students. Every year, at least one fully-staged work will be presented. Recent operas performed at Penn State include Suor Angelica, Così fan tutte, Iolanthe, Trouble In Tahiti, La Bohéme, Alcina, Dialogues of the Carmelites, Le Nozze di Figaro, The Tender Land, the Pirates of Penzance, and The Coronation of Poppea. These works have been presented in a variety of venues on and off campus, and with other ensembles in the School of Music, particularly Penn State Philharmonic and Chamber Orchestra. All graduate students in voice and BM and BMA students are required to audition for opera theatre. All other voice students in the School of Music are encouraged to audition for opera theatre. The 2019-2020 season of Penn State Opera Theatre will include a scenes workshop in the fall and a fully staged production of Georges Bizet’s Carmen in the spring.
