UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA OPERA THEATRE: LA FINTA GIARDINIERA
UGA Opera Theatre returns to the Fine Arts Theatre Building for this fully-staged performance! Confusion is in full bloom at a small-town mayor’s estate near Milan, where Violante and her servant are disguised as gardeners to hide from her exboyfriend, Belfiore. Chaos reigns among several would-be couples in this somewhat surreal romp of requited and unrequited love. Enjoy wonderful music and imagination from an 18-year-old Mozart in a precursor to Le Nozze di Figaro. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Each year at the Hugh Hodgson School of Music, the Composition Area presents a “composer in residence” who collaborates with one of our large ensembles. This year, they will be working with the University of Georgia Symphony Orchestra to develop a world premiere performance. From the sound and concept of this piece, conductor Mark Cedel will pair additional complementary works for a provocative evening of music.
