Whether you’ve never been to an opera or you’re a lifelong fan, here’s a great opportunity for you to experience it—at a great price—and to support the University’s School of Music at the same time!
UMRA members will pay only $25 a ticket—a $10 discount—to see the University Opera Theatre production of Street Scene by composer Kurt Weill and librettist Langston Hughes (November 20–23); and Hänsel and Gretel by the 19th century composer Engelbert Humperdinck, performed in German with English supertitles (April 23–26), at the School of Music’s Ted Mann Concert Hall in Minneapolis.
In addition to the discounts offered by the School of Music, UMRA members may enjoy many other discounts. Theatre Arts and Dance is performing Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth (November 14–23); the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum welcomes you to its AppleHouse, open for the season until December 20; and the Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing has several programs to advance health and wellbeing. All these offerings, and more, are available at discounted prices for UMRA members.
Please go to umra.umn.edu > Resources > Membership Benefits > Member Discounts to learn more, and support the wonderful programs and events offered by the University.
