Continuing a long tradition of presenting important music premieres,
the IU Opera Theater will produce the collegiate premiere of the celebrated musical The Light in the Piazza (music and lyrics by Adam Guettel) in a brand-new production during the 2009 IU Summer Music Festival.
This Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of a young American tourist, Clara, as she meets and falls in love with a young Italian in Florence in 1953. But Clara's mother tries to keep them apart. Eventually, her mother reveals the secret explaining why.
