Hello Morgan Fine and Performing Arts community!
Once
again, teachers and students in Morgan’s Fine and Performing Arts
department are finding ways to continue their craft during this period
of remote education. Morgan’s opera program, led by Vocal Coordinator
Marquita Lister, produced an opera entitled: Freedom Dreams - a virtual
performance of operatic arias around current themes in our society.
Students enrolled in our Opera Workshop course were given arias to sing
and asked to connect these arias with essays around issues in
contemporary society. The product yielded profound social commentaries,
with insights into our society that national pundits should absorb.
After our recent virtual theatrical production of Marisol, I do
not believe any other university in the area is continuing to offer the
performance opportunities that this department has created for our
students during this pandemic.
See link below to the production, which is ultimately a premiere of a student created opera!
