UNIVERSITY SCHOLAR OPERA PERFORMANCE EVENT

The opera La serva pedrona, composed by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, will be performed by Julienne Pendrys as part of a University Scholar project!

She enlists the help of another servant (Vespone) to trick Uberto into marriage, despite his reservations about their differences in age and social station. ***THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE LAST HONORS EVENTS OF THE YEAR!***
