This preview has been provided by the Duke Opera Workshop.
The Duke Opera Workshop, directed by Susan Dunn since 1993, presents staged chamber operas and operatic scenes in Baldwin Auditorium. Founded by John Hanks in 1958, it is one of the only undergraduate opera programs currently offered among our peer institutions, giving Duke students the opportunity to learn more about stage craft and the art of operatic singing.
In addition to operas and opera scenes, Duke Opera Workshop also performs “classical Broadway” repertoire and has partnered with the Duke Jazz Ensemble to present successful Swing programs with costumes and staging.
