SUMMARY:UCSC Opera—Orpheus in the Underworld
DESCRIPTION:A rollicking and irreverent spoof of the Orpheus myth\, Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld is most famous as the origin of the “gallop infernal”—the music now strongly associated with the can-can dance.

Cowed by Public Opinion\, Orpheus makes an attempt to retrieve his wife from the underworld\, but Jupiter’s involvement\, along with many of the other gods of Olympus\, complicates matters further.  \nThe UCSC Orchestra ensemble and voice students are conducted by Bruce Kiesling\, with direction by Sheila Willey.\nCostumes by Brooke Jennings\, wigs by Sharon Ridge and Jessica Carter\, and set/lighting design by David Dunning.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Attend in person at the UCSC Music Center Recital Hall.\n– General admission opera tickets available online through Eventbrite.\n– Free for UCSC students (ticket required).\n– Follow the Music Department on Eventbrite for notices and updates.\n– Doors are scheduled to open 30 minutes prior to event start time.\n– Ticket holders not seated at least 5 minutes before the advertised start time may forfeit their ticket/seat and no refund will be issued.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Th.\, May 28\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Fr.\, May 29\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Sa.\, May 30\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Su.\, May 31\, 3:00 p.m. matinee\n—\nPARKING\n– Arts Lot #126 is the closest parking lot to the event.\n– $5 ParkMobile Arts Special Event flat rate; cash/credit via parking attendant in Lot 126; or by valid UCSC permit.\n– Before arriving to UCSC\, we recommend downloading the ParkMobile App on Google Play or Apple App Store and setting up a profile with license plate and payment information.\n– Visitors with DMV placards or plates may park for free in DMV spaces\, Medical spaces\, or ParkMobile spaces without additional payment\, or in timed zones for longer than the posted time.\n– More information provided by UCSC Transportation & Parking Services.\n—\nThis program is open to all members of the public consistent with state and federal law. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:UCSC Opera—Orpheus in the Underworld
DESCRIPTION:A rollicking and irreverent spoof of the Orpheus myth\, Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld is most famous as the origin of the “gallop infernal”—the music now strongly associated with the can-can dance.

Cowed by Public Opinion\, Orpheus makes an attempt to retrieve his wife from the underworld\, but Jupiter’s involvement\, along with many of the other gods of Olympus\, complicates matters further.  \nThe UCSC Orchestra ensemble and voice students are conducted by Bruce Kiesling\, with direction by Sheila Willey.\nCostumes by Brooke Jennings\, wigs by Sharon Ridge and Jessica Carter\, and set/lighting design by David Dunning.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Attend in person at the UCSC Music Center Recital Hall.\n– General admission opera tickets available online through Eventbrite.\n– Free for UCSC students (ticket required).\n– Follow the Music Department on Eventbrite for notices and updates.\n– Doors are scheduled to open 30 minutes prior to event start time.\n– Ticket holders not seated at least 5 minutes before the advertised start time may forfeit their ticket/seat and no refund will be issued.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Th.\, May 28\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Fr.\, May 29\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Sa.\, May 30\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Su.\, May 31\, 3:00 p.m. matinee\n—\nPARKING\n– Arts Lot #126 is the closest parking lot to the event.\n– $5 ParkMobile Arts Special Event flat rate; cash/credit via parking attendant in Lot 126; or by valid UCSC permit.\n– Before arriving to UCSC\, we recommend downloading the ParkMobile App on Google Play or Apple App Store and setting up a profile with license plate and payment information.\n– Visitors with DMV placards or plates may park for free in DMV spaces\, Medical spaces\, or ParkMobile spaces without additional payment\, or in timed zones for longer than the posted time.\n– More information provided by UCSC Transportation & Parking Services.\n—\nThis program is open to all members of the public consistent with state and federal law. \n  \n  \n
