DePaul Opera Theatre
Harry Silverstein, director
Always a venue for exceptional talent, DePaul Opera Theatre produces three full-length
operas each year. Repertoire has included Carmen, La Boheme, The Marriage of
Figaro, Don Giovanni, Candide and the U.S. premiere of an opera by Philip Glass.
In years past, musical theater productions have been produced, directed, conducted,
and performed annually by students with faculty supervision. Productions have
included Into the Woods, The Fantasticks, Sweeney Todd, and Little Women.
Students agree that with the experience gained at the DePaul Opera Theatre,
opportunities abound. Graduates are currently performing with such opera companies
as the Metropolitan,
Chicago Lyric, Berlin, Vienna, Zurich, Houston, Dallas, and Santa Fe. The opera
program is led by Harry
Silverstein, who has directed at the Lyric Opera of Chicago,
San Francisco, New York City, and English National Operas and for companies
in Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and The Netherlands
