Opera Theatre to Present a Musical Revue

The Lee University Opera Theatre, directed by James Frost, will present its annual Musical Revue in the Squires Recital Hall on Sunday, Nov. 16, at 3 p.m.
The performance, which is the final project of Lee’s Opera Theatre class in the fall semester, will include various scenes and solos spanning the musical theatre repertoire from such musicals as “Carousel,” “Shrek,” “A Chorus Line,” “Anastasia,” and “Candide,” among others.
The revue provides every Opera Theatre participant the opportunity to sing at least one solo role and take part in two large ensemble numbers.
“The participants of each scene are challenged to stage their own scene with help from myself and the other participants, which is a great learning tool, using their own creative impulses,” said Frost, associate professor of music at Lee.
Opera Theatre was started in the spring of 1998 by the now retired professor Tony Deaton as a workshop and has since grown into a production organization. The group presents a Musical Revue in the fall, a fully-staged opera from both standard and less traditional repertoire in February, and an opera scenes program each spring.
Musical Revue is free, non-ticketed, and open to the public.
