Sixteen Westminster College students will present the operetta, "Die Fledermaus," which means "The Bat," Sunday and Monday, Nov. 6-7 at 3 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
The Monday performance is sponsored by the New Wilmington Rotary in conjunction with The Hoyt Foundation to promote opera to area high schools.
"This is a story of delicious mischief in old Vienna that features a musical score filled with wonderful waltzes by Johann Strauss," said Dr. Anne Bentz, assistant professor of music at Westminster College. "There will be music to sway and tap your foot to, gorgeous singing, and a story line full of entertainment comedy. This is a great way to see what wonderful talent we have at Westminster and to get your feet wet in the opera scene."
The event is free and open to the public. Contact Bentz at (724) 946-6045 or e-mail bentzah@westminster.edu for more information.
