Broadway at the MAC: The Most Happy Fella
Featuring a Pre-performance Talk by
Grammy-winning Soprano Sylvia McNair

April 18, 2009

At this special evening at the opera, students had the opportunity to participate in a pre-performance talk with two-time Grammy-winning soprano Sylvia McNair, a member of the voice faculty of the IU Jacobs School of Music. She spoke to students about why Frank Loesser's The Most Happy Fella is one of her all-time favorite operas and sang the opening aria for them! She responded to questions about the opera they were about to see, about her career, and about the music industry in general. Students then enjoyed refreshments before going to see the performance, which featured IU voice professor Timothy Noble in the lead role as his farewell performance after a very successful 44-year career.
