12:00 pmOpera: The Most Happy Fella KIMBALL RECITAL HALL
The Most Happy Fella is Frank Loesser’s most operatic musical—and therefore just the right sort of vehicle to test the full range of talents of UNL Opera’s student performers. It is also a great audience pleaser, full of rip-roaring musical theatre showstoppers like “Standin’ on the Corner,” “Big D,” “Joey,” and “My Heart Is So Full of You.” An emotionally powerful love story, The Most Happy Fella is set in California’s Napa Valley during the 1930’s. Tony Esposito, a middle-aged owner of a vineyard, proposes through the mail to a woman who does not know what he looks like, enclosing a photo of his young, handsome foreman. When Rosabella learns the truth, she is hurt and humiliated. A loving understanding eventually blossoms between the two during Tony’s long convalescence from a near-fatal accident, but only after the mismatched pair overcome suitably heart-wrenching obstacles. Broadway and opera star T. Doyle Leverett will perform the title role. Guest artist Leverett, the foremost Tony Esposito in America today, has triumphed in the role in regional productions, on Broadway and, last March, at New York City Opera.
1:00 pm-4:00 pmMicrosoft Office 2007 and Vista Preview NEBRASKA UNION

3:30 pm-5:00 pmDrop-In International Student Discussion Group 420 UNIVERSITY TERRACE
Today's Topic: Finding and Proving Yourself in a New Educational System. Discussion is about student-professor relationships. Many international students are surprised at how the relationship between students and their professors is less formal in the US. They particularly enjoy the opportunity to ask questions and challenge their professors. We will examine these differences and the effect they can have on student's learning.
