Opera combines the unamplified human voice (miraculous, and mic-less!), high drama, farcical comedy, dance and more. Opera is romance, opera is vengeance! Opera is comedy, opera is tragedy. Opera is athletic, opera is elegant. Opera is highbrow and lowbrow. Opera is for everyone!

The show is directed by Cherry Duke. Student assistant directors are Consuelo Gonzalez, Emilie Merritt, and Antonio Motta. With pianist/vocal coach Dr. Esequiel Meza.

Opera UTEP features the University of Texas at El Paso's finest classical voice students. Opera UTEP is directed by Prof. Cherry Duke with coach and pianist Dr. Esequiel Meza.
