SAS Performing Arts Company Opera focuses its efforts to promote the operatic art form by bringing this music, in concert format, for audiences to enjoy thus enriching our community's cultural life. The concert presentation makes this intricate art form more accessible to our audiences. All operas are performed in their original languages. The exhilarating connection generated between music, text, and drama will become more immediate in this intimate atmosphere.
SAS Concert Opera programs performances of acknowledged masterpieces as well as rarely performed works that deserve a more extensive hearing. We introduce the brilliant talents of emerging artists together with professional opera singers. Our season is comprised of complete concert operas, complete acts and scene programs in our Opera Act by Act program, young audience events, and individual artist recitals.
We offer Master Classes by such esteemed artists such as International Opera luminary Dramatic Soprano Luana DeVol, Metropolitan Opera legend Isola Jones, and International Opera star and faculty member at Indianna University School of Music KS Tichina Vaughn. Ms Vaughn is also SAS Performing Arts Young Artists Advisor.
