The School of Music’s rendition of “Martha,” an opera famed for its cheery operatic tunes, updates the setting from 18th century England to 1950s Virginia, where two wealthy women, Harriet and Nancy, have accidentally agreed to work as farmhands for two farmers. The opera follows Harriet’s inner turmoil, embellished with comedic twists and turns, as she struggles to find love and discover her true desires.
UCO School of Music Assistant Director Rob Glaubitz and Assistant Show Director Megan Guerra translated the show from German and updated the plot to help audiences better understand the story.
“The original translation used archaic words and was difficult to understand,” Glaubitz said. “We wrote a new translation and believe the story will be clearer to the audience so they can enjoy the music. ‘Martha’ has some of the most delightful tunes ever written for the operatic stage, and we are excited to introduce these melodies to Oklahoma audiences.”
Tickets are $15 for seniors, children under 12, veterans and UCO alumni, faculty and staff, and $20 for all others. To purchase tickets for this event, call 405-974-3375 or visit mitchellhalltheatre.com.

THE MIDTOWN MEN reunites stars from the original cast of Broadway’s Jersey Boys, making them the first vocal group ever formed by the principal cast of a high-profile Broadway show. After sharing the stage for over a thousand performances, Tony Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard, and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer decided to take their signature sound and chemistry to audiences everywhere, bringing to life their favorite 1960s hits. “Authenticity is the core of this musical brotherhood... The Midtown Men sound as crisp as their Rat Pack-inspired suits!”- NY Daily News “... as good as popping Meet the Beatles on my turntable for the first time!”- Charles Alexander, Long Time Senior Editor, Time Magazine
