'Susannah' opens Friday on campus

November 18, 2009

Sponsored by the MSU College of Music, The MSU Opera Theatre and Symphony Orchestra are joining forces for the production of “Susannah,” which will have its opening night 8 p.m. Friday at the Auditorium. The show also will run at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Carlisle Floyd’s retelling of the biblical story is one of the most frequently produced American operas.

Set in rural Tennessee, the narrative tells the tale of a young woman who is dismissed from her community. A lecture will be held 45 minutes before each performance to provide background information on the production.

Adult tickets are $20, while tickets are $10 for any student with an ID. Tickets only are available from the Wharton Center box office, whartoncenter.com or 1-800-WHARTON.
