The UL Lafayette Opera Theatre has planned their Spring performances.

The Theatre will present a double-bill of American comic operas. Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Thief and Douglas Moore’s Gallantry will be the two one-act operas presented.  The Old Maid and the Thief was originally conceived as a radio opera and Gallantry is a soap opera complete with written in commercials.  The productions feature an all UL Lafayette student cast and accompanied by piano. The Theatre is directed by Shawn Roy.

The four performances will take place in Burke-Hawthorne Theatre on the UL Lafayette campus.

Performance dates are March 21, 22 and 23 at 7:30PM and March 24 at 3:00PM.
