SUNY ONEONTA TO PRESENT OPERA AND VALENTINE'S DAY OPERA BALL

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The SUNY College at Oneonta Music Department and the Apollo Music Club will present the opera Die Fledermaus (The Bat) with performances in the Hunt Union Ballroom on Friday, February 13, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, February 14, at 6:30 p.m. The Saturday show will be part of the Valentine's Day Opera Ball, which will include a catered buffet and dancing immediately following the performance.

Tickets for the Friday performance, which will be available at the door, are $5 for general admission or free with a SUNY Oneonta student ID card.

Tickets for the Valentine's Day Opera Ball are $30 for general admission or $25 with a student ID card. General admission tickets are available through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com or 1-800-927-2770. Student tickets, which can be purchased with Dragon Dollars or Declining Dollars, are available at the Hunt Union Reservation Counter from 1 p.m. to 3:50 p.m., Monday through Friday. Tickets will be on sale through February 11.

Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss II is a modernized version of the popular operetta that combines the talents of the College's classically trained vocalists with some of its more contemporary rock & rollers. Strauss' music, played by orchestra members of the Catskill Symphony, will underscores a rollicking story of sex, lies, and revenge.

For the Valentine's Day Opera Ball, a catered dinner buffet with champagne and cash bar will be served during intermission and the second act of the opera. The ball will follow the performance with dessert and dancing as well as a special exhibition of ballroom dancing by members of the show's ensemble.

More information about the events is available from Colby Thomas of the SUNY Oneonta Music Department at (607) 436-2298.
