This year's UCF Opera scenes program consists of four brief operas in English and an added scene from a famous operetta (also performed in English). The four identical concerts (Nov. 9, 10 and 16 in the Rehearsal Hall) are a product of an Opera Workshop class. The course instructors, Thomas Potter and Robin Jensen, customize the choice of scenes each year. This year's selections center on a game of bridge, three anxious coeds in a dorm room, the making of a pizza, a lesson in carefully choosing one's stated dreams and the aforementioned operetta Closer. Come and support the future of opera, and expect to have a good time doing it - appropriate for all audiences.

Embrace the absurd world of Eugene Ionesco's iconic drama, Rhinoceros. Follow Berenger, an ordinary man caught in the midst of an extraordinary epidemic as neighbors are transformed into rhinoceroses.As chaos reigns and societal norms crumble, Berenger must find the courage to resist conformity and reclaim his individuality. Ionesco's provocative masterpiece is a searing indictment of complacency and mob mentality, challenging audiences to question the status quo and embrace the power of individual action. Rhinoceros offers a timeless exploration of identity, society and the struggle for sanity amidst overwhelming chaos.
