We are the only Northwestern University student group who produces fully staged operas and operettas. In the past, we have produced such shows as Gianni Schicchi by Puccini, Iolanthe by Gilbert and Sullivan, The Magic Flute by Mozart, and works written by Northwestern students. This fall we will produce Les Aventures du Roi Pausole by Arthur Honegger, a French operetta that premiered in 1930. It follows the journey of a king and his daughter as she runs away from her castle to learn about what it means to be in love. Since our organization is almost entirely student run, we provide northwestern students a fantastic hands-on education in operetta, performing, and stagecraft.
