Enjoy a behind-the-scenes conversation with stage director Josh Shaw and guest conductor Kyle Naig, followed by an open "sitzprobe" rehearsal with singers and orchestra of Intermountain Opera Bozeman's winter musical "Into the Woods." This Tony Award-winning musical explores what happens, for better or worse, when wishes come true. Participants will walk away with a deeper appreciation of Stephen Sondheim's mastery of storytelling and character development, not to mention his compositional craft and musical legacy.
Preludes and Performances are a collaborative program offered to OLLI at MSU and MSU Retiree Association members.
