Friends University to present Victor Herbert operetta 'Sweethearts'
Gilbert and Sullivan meet Rodgers and Hammerstein in Friends' fall opera production.
WICHITA – Friends University Fine Arts Department will present Victor Herbert’s operetta "Sweethearts" at 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 20 and 2 p.m. Saturday, November 21. The performances will take place in Sebits Auditorium in the Riney Fine Arts Center on the Friends University campus at 2100 W. University Ave. in Wichita.
A Friends University press release describes the show:
"Anastasia meets Sleeping Beauty? Say less! Sweethearts is a charming operetta that bridges the musical worlds of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta and the early musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein, all wrapped up in a fairy-tale plot of happily ever after."
The performance is in collaboration with Friends University music, theater, and art students, and the Friends University Orchestra.
The opera will be performed in English. Tickets are $16 for adults and $12 for seniors and students. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the Fine Arts Box Office at 316-295-5677 or visit www.friends.edu/finearts.
