The AU Opera Theatre is the university’s opera and music theater performing ensemble. Students in all disciplines of study are welcome to register. Community members are welcomed and encouraged to participate.
AU Opera Theatre is an artistic and educational training program for undergraduate singers. We offer tailored performance opportunities each semester that aid in strengthening skills young musicians need as singing actors. Recent semesters have included fully staged productions, scenes programs, music theatre cabarets, and educational outreach performances at local schools.
Our mission includes introducing students to the standard repertoire in the operatic domain, as well as exploring new American opera, operetta and music theatre; providing high-level music preparation and language training; teaching students how to improve their work in character development; and preparing participants with the foundations and prerequisites of musicianship and stage performance for graduate-level and pre-professional work.
