We have arranged our conference schedule to allow visiting composers the opportunity to attend an opera production by the internationally renowned IU Opera Theatre. Unfortunately no new American opera is on this yearŐs season, but Falstaff, a scintillating ensemble opera, provides a chance to see IU Opera at its best. $20 tickets for the April 18 performance of Falstaff are being held for SCI Conference registrants through March 15.
