Opening Nights Starts the Season With a FREE Virtual Performance on October 2
This message has been approved by Michael Blachly, Director of Opening Nights at Florida State University, for distribution to students, faculty and staff.
Join us on Friday, October 2 at 7:30 pm as we kick off the season with a free virtual performance of "I Have a Song to Sing, O!" by The New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players. The players performed "The Pirates of Penzance" in February at Ruby Diamond Concert Hall and are taking the stage once again—virtually.
This free virtual performance is our gift to our patrons for their support through these challenging times and as a way to welcome the community back to the performing arts.
The virtual concert is a video celebration of timeless Gilbert and Sullivan favorites! A cast of seven principal performers of New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players explore repertoire from seven Gilbert and Sullivan operas in this creative and entertaining concert. The audience will delight in the fun and variety of the performances, and the opportunity to see and hear everything up close and personal.
The concert features recognizable favorites from The Pirates of Penzance, HMS Pinafore, and The Mikado, as well as lesser performed gems from Patience, Ruddigore, Iolanthe, and The Yeomen of the Guard. "I Have a Song to Sing, O!" Is a great introduction to Gilbert and Sullivan for new audiences and a treat for die-hard Savoyards.
