Sell your soul.

What would you pay for the love of a beautiful girl?  Faust bargains with his very soul.  With the devil Méphistophélès at his side, he seduces the beautiful and innocent Marguerite and then curses her as well.  The darkest faces of love come heart-wrenchingly into view, as Faust is damned to pay the price and serve the devil for all eternity.

The greatest words. The greatest music.

Opera tells some of the most powerful stories, so it's no wonder that Shakespeare's works fit so well within the form.  For this year's Young Artist Showcase, we will feature some of the best combinations of the Bard's words with the music of opera's greatest composers.  And with Shakespeare as a master of both light-hearted comedy and heartbreaking tragedy, this is your chance to hear darkness and light in one single night.

Lying.  Cheating.  Cross-dressing. The things we'll do for love.

In the light of laughter, the music of Rossini shines bright, even when set in the Dark Ages. The beautiful Countess Adele's brother is away at war, so the innocent girl is alone with her ladies inside her castle.  To gain entrance, the always-amorous Count Ory disguises himself and his men as nuns.
