Experience a night of opera exploring identity, scandal and secrets.The UCO School of Music presents an opera double feature with “The Ghosts of Gatsby” and “The Old Maid and the Thief” at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 27–March 1, in Mitchell Hall Theatre.
Experience a unique evening of opera as UCO presents two powerful one-act works in a single night.
“The Ghosts of Gatsby” is a psychological drama exploring the turbulent inner world of Zelda Fitzgerald as she wrestles with her identity, creativity and her complex relationship with F. Scott Fitzgerald. With a modern score and gripping narrative, this contemporary opera reveals the emotional undercurrents behind one of America’s most iconic literary couples.
“The Old Maid and the Thief,” a darkly comic opera by Gian Carlo Menotti, tells the tale of a small-town scandal sparked by a mysterious drifter. With lively characters and a witty libretto, the opera unravels a story of deception, desire and unexpected consequences.
This double feature offers both modern innovation and classic charm, showcasing the depth and versatility of UCO’s talented opera performers.
