JOHN J. CALI SCHOOL OF MUSIC Kaleidoscope Concert
A writer’s dream turns into a nightmare as Sergei Maxudov’s novel is finally going to be presented as a play at the renowned Independent Theater of Moscow, and the rehearsals reveal the hypocrisy and frustration of producing a truly artistic piece. A bitingly funny adaptation of Russian literary giant Bulgakov’s famous unfinished theatrical novel, Black Snow is a hilarious send-up of Stanislavsky’s famous “Method” and the acting profession in general.

The Pirates of Penzance is a comic opera written by W.S. Gilbert and composed by Arthur Sullivan that concerns Fredric, a young apprentice who is released from a band of pirates. He then later meets the daughter of Major-General Stanley and falls in love. However, a revelation is made, and he must battle not only his sense of duty to his apprenticeship and the Pirates but to his new love. In this new, modern, and explorative telling of the opera, we put aside gender to challenge the notion of masculinity and femininity.

The University Opera with the Symphony Orchestra present an opera from classical repertoire.
The ever-inventive Branden Jacobs-Jenkins has penned a timeless and timely riff on the Medieval morality play. It’s a wildly fresh, seriously funny, and deeply human meta-story that asks the big questions about what it means to live, what it means to die (if anything!), and how we might travel through the world with a bit more grace and compassion. Oh, and be a bit better about recycling along the way.
