Opening Ceremonies will begin at the LIED Center for Performing Arts at 8:00A. The purpose of Math Day is to stimulate interest in Mathematics among Nebraska high school students, to encourage them to pursue mathematics or mathematics based science as a career, to recognize mathematical ability by awarding scholarships, certificates, and trophies. Math Day consists of one individual and two team mathematics competitions, information about majors and departments, career information, and recreational mathematical activities.
UNL Opera presents Benjamin Britten’s wonderful interpretation of the Shakespeare classic,
A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Audiences will delight at this contemporary yet accessible, tuneful adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic fantasy, replete with enchanted woods, fairies, a wedding party, and a rustic weaver who’s turned into a donkey! Unlike so many of Britten’s contemporaries, his music is tonal and widely approachable to the general musical audience. Celebrated music critic Terry Teachout put it this way, “For those Mozart-loving opera buffs who long ago wrote off ‘contemporary opera’ as a lumpy, inedible stew of high-voltage dissonance and hair-tearing angst, the lucidity and charm of A Midsummer Night’s Dream are likely to come as an agreeable shock.” Don’t miss this stellar, all-student production under the direction of Dr. William Shomos, UNL Director of Opera. Dr. Tyler Goodrich White will conduct the UNL Philharmonia.
You are sure to be enchanted!
Tickets: Adults $20, student/senior $10. Available thru the Lied Center box office, 402/472-4747 or 1-800/432-3231.
