"Not/Ordinary: Scenes of Love and Life" was the theme of the žž State Opera Theatre's Fall 2023 concert in November.

A selection of operatic scenes explored the concept of love and its various forms– passion, obsession, longing and even suffering.

žž State Opera Theatre is dedicated to developing and nurturing young artists in the craft of opera performance by recognizing their individual strengths as they build the skills necessary to achieve their creative, academic and career goals.
