UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Opera Theatre will present Gilbert and Sullivan's opera "Iolanthe" at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 16-17, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 18, at the State Theatre, located at 130 W. College Ave. in State College.
Tickets are $18 for general admission (plus a $2 fee), $16 for seniors (plus a $2 fee), and $9 for students (plus a $1 fee). Tickets can be purchased at the State Theatre box office or online at thestatetheatre.org.
"Iolanthe" is a topsy-turvy farce featuring the British House of Lords and a band of magical fairies. Hilarity ensues as identities are confused, long-lost lovers are reunited, and the great peers of England are outwitted by a half-fairy/half-mortal named Strephon. The production will feature the Penn State Glee Club in the rousing "Entrance of the Peers" and is a co-production between the Penn State School of Music and the State Theatre. Don't miss this opportunity to see the stars of tomorrow on stage today.
