Hey skaters! Horatio here—I am glad you are interested in learning more about my best friend Hamlet. Here is the link to my YouTube Channel where you can watch all of our skating videos and learn more about the show! On the channel, you will find a playlist of videos that talk about Hamlet’s story, including 10 Fun Facts about the play Hamlet, themes and symbols in the play and lots of great information about this Shakespearean tragedy. (And of course, I’ve got some fun behind the scenes skating videos!) Hope you watch all of the videos and enjoy the show!
by Pollyanna Eyler, dramaturg What can you expect when you come to the BYU Opera Scenes? Our “Dreams and Nightmares” program explores how quickly one can turn into the other, and how the line between fantasy and reality can sometimes be very thin. We’ve modernized and adapted many of these scenes, so you may be able to relate to what is happening on the stage. We’ve even put in some of our own modern musical “easter eggs” specifically for our BYU audience members. See if you can catch them! My hope is that anyone, whether they are brand new to opera or a seasoned veteran, will be able to laugh, cry, enjoy, and be enlightened by our diverse and beautiful program. ― Shea Owens, Opera Director
