We received an email from our club member Robert Sage:
I just received a listing of upcoming concerts at the University of Southern California. Among them:
Friday, February 7 at 7:00 pm in the Alfred Newman Recital Hall (free admission): “Opera Scenes”. The description reads: “The singing actors of the USC Thornton Opera program present an exciting and wide-ranging selection of excerpts from grand opera to operetta featuring music from the work of American legend Jeanette MacDonald”.
