The UCSC Opera Program has been honored with the National Opera Association’s “Opera Production Award” for its production of Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream last year.

I saw the production and it was quite good. You can read the entire article here.

The UC Santa Cruz Music Department will present a week-long opera symposium titled New Directions in Contemporary Opera, April 3-7, on the university campus.

Full story.

If you haven’t attended a UCSC opera, you have a chance to do so in May and June. They will be putting on The Magic Flute from May 30 through June 3. Check it out.
