We're back from Spring Break, and Rosen Concert Hall has been converted to serve as our opera theater for The Bartered Bride, our spring opera production with performances on March 31-April 3 (see Looking Ahead below). Four rows of seats have been removed to accommodate the orchestra, and a unit set is onstage, creating a contemporary small town setting for the production.
