With score by Professor Thomas Whitman, libretto by Professor Nathalie Anderson, and direction by Professor K. Elizabeth Stevens, this original opera transports the audience to a magical kingdom in search of a new Royal Singer. As animals and dolls gear up for a musical competition, they learn that the best harmonies come from working (and playing) together. Bring the family and witness the world-premiere of this very special new opera. This production is the result of a collaborative effort by five different academic departments at Swarthmore College and features performances by Swarthmore students and by children from Stetser Elementary School in Chester.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Sunday, May 3, 2015<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> 7:00 PM<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Swarthmore College<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Lang Music Building<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Lang Concert Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations required.<br \/>\nFor more information contact Andrew Hauze at<br \/>\n610-690-3489 or ahauze1@swarthmore.edu<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Swarthmore College Sesquicentennial Committee is proud to present The Royal Singer: A New Children&#8217;s Opera Join our dancers and musicians for a production of The Royal Singer, a new opera for children, made possible by Maurice Eldridge and the Sesquicentennial committee.
