Director's Message: 

The 2025 Schwob Opera Theater spring season will be a double bill of exciting lyric dramas, Suor Angelica by Giacomo Puccini and The Medium by Gian Carlo Menotti. These two iconic operas will be performed in collaboration with the Schwob Opera Orchestra led by Professor Paul Hostetter. We are also excited to collaborate with and present our mainstage opera production for the first time at the historic state theater of Georgia, the Springer Opera House. 

Our student performers will work alongside a professional team of artists to bring these operas to life for our audiences this spring. Our performances will include a pre-concert talk presented by Dr. Reba Wissner for our audience members to learn more about the history of these incredible works. Performances dates are April 12, 2025, at 7:30pm and April 13, 2025, at 4:00pm. 

Production Sponsorship & Support: John & Sally Walden Endowment for Opera and G. Gunby Jordan Endowment for Operatic Activities
