SpeedDatingTonightMSU’s opera students were national finalists last year in the National Opera Association scenes competition.

Comedy exposes world of speed dating

“Speed Dating Tonight!” was written in 2013. It is a witty and endearing peek into a sometimes romantic and often ridiculous speed-dating event. Set in a bar with 27 characters, the attendees include a cat lady, a guy who loves his muscle car, a triathlete, and many more. With traditional opening and closing numbers, the middle section of the opera is a group of one-to-two-minute “dater arias.”

Event details

Schedule: Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m.; Nov. 8 at 2:30 p.m.
