@presidentloh Thank you for coming President Loh!

Thanks to students who joined me for @MDOperaStudio's superlative performance of Handel's #Ariodante, a medieval story of love, political intrigue, and deceit that's timeless. Congrats to the outstanding singers and thanks to Director Kier for the discussion and backstage tour

Many thanks to Ken Weiss from Washington National Opera for helping our second years prepare their Italian recit for Ariodante this fall! The first years also worked with Ken Weiss on aria recits!
