College Opera Circle
Dress rehearsal dates: September 24, 2008, November 3, 2008, and January 23, 2009
Fee: $550 per application
College Opera Circle enhances the learning experience of fulltime, degree-seeking undergraduates and graduate students by enabling them to attend three dress rehearsals of Lyric productions each season. Participating colleges and universities (which pay an annual fee to participate) receive study materials and free lectures (on campus or pre-performance) by request. Up to 50 students per application from member colleges or universities may attend each dress rehearsal. 2008/09 Operas are: Manon by Jules Massenet, Lulu by Alban Berg, and Tristan und Isolde by Richard Wagner.
