APRIL 23, 2024 — The UTSA Lyric Theatre presents the final production of its 2023-2024 season with The VERDI Project. The concert will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 26, at the Edgewood Theater for Performing Arts in San Antonio.
From the creative mind of director Jourdan Laine Howell, associate professor of instruction for voice and Lyric Theatre at the UTSA School of Music, the show is a new collaborative effort between the school’s theatre, orchestra and choral ensembles. The massive production commemorates the School of Music’s 50th anniversary this year.
The event will center the life and works of the famous Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi. UTSA Lyric Theatre vocalists will perform melodies by Verdi, one of opera’s most celebrated composers. The show will also include narration by UTSA professor emeritus Gary Mabry and student Justin Chappell.
