Music by Steven Stucky
Libretto by Jeremy Denk
Directed by Abbigail Coté
Conducted by Kenny Lee

Three of history’s greatest composers come back for a chat about music and more.

The Classical Style follows Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn as they return to earth to discover the current music scene. Full of inside jokes about music theory and musicology, the zany one act opera will be presented in an intimate black box setting. The UI students in the cast will have an opportunity to meet and work with librettist Jeremy Denk—who performs at Hancher on October 24—during the production process.

Tickets:
UI Student - $5
College Student (not UI) - $10
Adult - $20  
Senior - $15  
Youth 17 & younger - $10
