Join Intermountain Opera Bozeman for a discussion and open rehearsal of The Montana Mikado at The Ellen Theatre. This brand-new and revolutionary adaptation turns Gilbert & Sullivan's classic English operetta into a modern-day satire of present-day Bozeman. Writer and director Soren Kisiel of Bozeman's Broad Comedy and Camp Equinox Summer Theater will offer his insights into the opera's creation before the singers and orchestra rehearse together for the first time.

P&P's are a collaborative program offered to OLLI at MSU and MSU Retiree Association members.

Free and open to the public. No advance registration or tickets are required.

Fee:  $0.00

Michael Sakir

Conductor Michael Sakir has been praised for his "artistic authority," "fluidity of expression," and "great delicacy of feeling." He serves as the Artistic Director of Intermountain Opera Bozeman, which the London-based Opera News magazine praised as "a small but thriving opera company that is not restrained by convention." In the 2023-2024 season, Sakir conducts Carousel and La bohème with Intermountain Opera Bozeman. He will also make his guest conducting debut conducting Albert Herring with his alma mater, the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
