Marshall University’s Department of Music and the MU Opera Theatre will present a program of “Gilbert & Sullivan Gems” Sunday, Feb. 14. It will take place at 3 p.m. in the Smith Recital Hall on Marshall’s Huntington campus.

Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved light operas have been among the most frequently performed stage works the world over since their introduction in 19th century England, according to Linda Dobbs, professor of voice at Marshall and director of the opera theatre.

“It has been some time since our last production, The Mikado, and I wanted to give our singers an opportunity to enjoy the clever satire of opera and Victorian-era morés that Gilbert and Sullivan have given us,” Dobbs said. “The audience will enjoy both the antics of their comic situations in these scenes and their lovely melodies.”

Admission is free and open to the public. For further information, contact the Marshall Department of Music at 304-696-3117.
