It gives me great pleasure to invite you to the 2009–2010 SIUE Opera Theatre Season, including some of the finest operatic repertoire composed.
On December 11th, the opera season opens with a showcase of operatic and musical theater scenes. We marshal in spring 2010 with a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Gondoliers.
Thank you for your support and patronage. We look forward to you joining us as we bring you an opera season full of excitement, humor, tragedy and passion.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marc Schapman, Director of SIUE Opera Theater
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

Student Testimonial
Graduate student Natalie Pannier had this to say of her experience this fall in Opera Workshop:
“The opportunity to work with talented musicians is always an enjoyable experience for me. You had to force yourself to step outside the box with various acting exercises. Whether it was doing improv or monologues, I think everyone pushed themselves this semester, and had a lot of fun doing it. I always looked forward to rehearsals. It never felt like ‘work’. From the other singers, to the accompanists, to our director, Dr. Schapman, this was a wonderful group of people to collaborate with. New friendships were obtained, old ones were made stronger, and we now have a fabulous group of opera scenes to share with our audiences.”
