Duke Opera Workshop
The Duke Opera Workshop, directed by Susan Dunn,
presents staged chamber operas and operatic scenes. In 2006, the ensemble presented the premiere of The Gift of the Magi, a new one-act opera by Duke University graduate student, Caroline Mallonée. In fall 2007, the workshop presented a revue of Leonard Bernstein's works for Broadway, including selections from On the Town, Candide, West Side Story and Wonderful Town. In spring 2007, the workshop performed a program of excerpts from selected Mozart operas with orchestral accompaniment. In spring 2008, we presented a fully-staged performance of Strauss' s Die Fledermaus with orchestra.
Rehearsals are Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. To join the Duke Opera Workshop, come to the first meeting on Wednesday, August 26 at 4:30 pm in Baldwin Auditorium. Please bring something to sing.
