About

For their spring performance, Ball State’s Opera Theatre program will present The Marriage of Figaro.

The Marriage of Figaro is set over a single "day of madness" (la folle journée) — Figaro’s wedding day. The curtain rises on Figaro and bride-to-be Susanna in the new room that their boss and the master of the house, the Count, has given them. Susanna reveals that the only reason the Count has made such a generous gift is to keep her nearby because he wants her for himself. Hijinks ensue, and Susanna, Figaro, and the Countess must find a way to stop the plotting Count.

Learn more about the Ball State Opera Theatre program, director Jon Truitt, and vocal coach Cara Chowning.

April 16-18, 21-25 at 7:30 p.m. | April 19 at 2:30 p.m. | Oakwood 101

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
