Opera Workshop

Danilo & Ladies Opera Scene

Led by Dr. Vicki Fingalson Madison, Opera Workshop provides performance-based instruction in opera, operetta, and musical theatre. Students develop and improve their performance skills through:

  •  theatre games 
  •  observations 
  •  discussions
  •  improvisations 
  •  rehearsing, preparing, and performing selected scenes and full-length operas
  •  attending live, professional opera – locally and regionally

Every other year, the UW-Superior Opera Workshop prepares and performs a full-length opera. Recent productions include:

  • Gilbert & Sullivan's Trial by Jury 
  • Mozart's The Magic Flute 
  • Franz Lehar's The Merry Widow 
  • Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado 
  • Spring 2020 will bring a production of Die Fledermaus

In years when full-length operas are not performed, students do two or three scenes performances, with the opportunity to perform a leading role in at least one scene each semester.

Please contact Dr. Vicki Fingalson Madison if you are interested in auditioning for Opera Workshop. Students of any major may audition!
