About IU Opera and Ballet Theater

IU Opera and IU Ballet Theater are considered two of the finest collegiate programs of their kind in North America. Housed within the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, they offer students unmatched opportunities to perform and dance in a spectacular performing arts complex, the Musical Arts Center. Built in the early 70s, the MAC has a stage design and technology that closely resembles the New York Metropolitan Opera’s facilities, including a three-wagon system and large turntable.

DATES: November 13, 14, 20, 21
TIME: 8:00 p.m. (with Opera Insights at 7:00 p.m.)

Enjoy this spectacular new production, directed by Tomer Zvulun, conducted by Mark Gibson, and designed by C. David Higgins.The production includes a collection of large puppets!

The principles of good and evil are the centerpiece of this Mo...zart masterpiece, which premiered only months before his death in December 1791. Good is represented by the High Priest Sarastro and evil by the Queen of the Night. Two would-be-lovers, Pamina and Tamino, must overcome a set of trials in order to be worthy of true love, encountering the birdcatcher Papageno along the way. Steeped in symbolism, this work is influenced by the principles of Freemasonry, which were very much in vogue at the time and to which Mozart subscribed.

Sung in German, with English dialogue and supertitles

“Juliette’s vocal role is especially challenging,” said Sauter. It starts out with arias that exploit the coloratura, the high flexible parts of the voice and then by the end its lower and more dramatic. Actually, this happened because it was written for two different sopranos,” Sauter explained.
