BEMIDJI, Minn.<\/strong> – Opera Night Dinner, a scholarship event featuring Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ music education and vocal performance students, will be held Saturday, Feb. 23 in the Thompson Recital Hall of the Bangsberg Fine Arts Complex on the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ campus.<\/p>\n

A social hour will begin at 6 p.m. with a gourmet dinner and performances following at 7 p.m. The cost is $45 per person. Reservations must be secured in advance, preferably by Feb. 20. Ticket requests may be made in person at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Department of Music Office, 201 Bangsberg Fine Arts Complex, or by phone at (218) 755-2915. A portion of the ticket price is a tax-deductible contribution to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ.<\/p>\n

Opera Night serves as the primary fund-raiser for the Elks Club Vocal Scholarship along with highlighting the vocal talent of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students and faculty. The evening will feature solo arias, duets and ensembles performed by students and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ voice faculty. The program will include songs by Puccini, Verdi, Bizet, Mozart and others.<\/p>\n

Dr. Fulton Gallagher<\/strong>, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ professor emeritus, created Opera Night to bring great operatic literature to northern Minnesota. Since its inception over 20 years ago, audiences have continued to enjoy the tradition.<\/p>\n

“People love the live music and our students really appreciate the opportunity perform,” said Jennifer Swanson<\/strong>, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ assistant professor of vocal music and event coordinator. “The evening helps fund scholarships, which are so important to students, particularly music students who must juggle studies with several hours a day of practice. That can cut into time spent at jobs outside of school, which makes the scholarships even more important.”<\/p>\n
