Matthew Huckaba (April 12) and Frederick Wagoner (April 14). Both are American operas in English and great for anyone new to opera, according to director Dr. Joshua Zink. “What’s really wonderful here is interacting and relating with the students in 2018’s society – hashtags and all,” said Zink. “Seeing them tackle contemporary issues has been astonishing. They have taken chances and stretched themselves vocally, dramatically, and intellectually. It’s been a gift to observe.” Both performances are free and open to the public.
