Photo Sample #1-Mini Operas at the University of Kansas

I took these for a photo essay on a series of short operas written and performed by KU students.

Katie Bieber, right, as the character Kate, plots against her sister Bianca as Michael Austin as Baptista looks on. Bieber and Austin are in the operatic adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew," composed by Andrew Trites.

Anna Hoard, left, sings to a spirit puppet created and operated by Spencer Lott. Hoard is in the opera "Bamboo Cutter," composed by Juseph Eidson.

Ben Cleveland, left, listens to an explanation from Josh Lawler during a strange carriage ride in the wilderness in the opera "Deukino Road," composed by Dan Musselman.
