On Sat. Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Faith and Life Chapel at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, students of Music 335 will present The Many Shades of Love, scenes from the Opera and Musical Theatre stage. Audience members for the evening will be treated to a rich variety of individually staged arias and songs drawn from the abundant catalogues of the opera and musical theatre world. Since the beginning of the school year, students in the Music for Theatre course, under the tutelage of professors Harold Wiens, Charlene Brown and with the assistance of
collaborative pianist Tova Olson, have been exploring a deeper connection to storytelling through music. This evening represents the culmination of the course as students Alexandra Brigley, Chantel Schultz, Colden Palo, Emily Jackson, David Salmon and Quinn Henrickson present scenes from Handel, Wagner and Mozart operas, including such much loved favorites as Marriage of Figaro and Cosi fan tutti. In addition, the students will treat us to cabaret style performances of the amazing music of Sondheim and to favorites from such Broadway masterpieces as Les Miserable, Fiddler on the Roof and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
