 d Gately\n\nMusical Direction by Stephen Carey\n\nEdited by Tyson Deaton\n\
 nSubtitles by Dr. Corey Trahan\n\nA hilarious romp! A unique one act opera 
 in that composer Dan Shore scored it for six sopranos! A perfect piece for 
 the Opera Studio at TCU where this year we have a preponderance of incredib
 ly talented Sopranos!\n\nSynopsis\n\nThe widowed Terentia (Jeannie Miller)\
 , after a visit to the city to find a husband for her daughter Laruentia (J
 anell Stallard)\, decides that she herself would like to marry – not her we
 althy neighbor Jeroniumus\, who has made repeated offers\, but rather a you
 ng man in his twenties! As she would like to keep this a secret from her tw
 o daughters Laurentia and Leonora (Olivia Flores)\, she charges her indigna
 nt maid\, Pernille (Faith Adams)\, to keep quiet.\n\nLeonora is trying to l
 earn how to dance\, which she hopes she will be able to do soon at a weddin
 g for her older sister Laurentia. Laurentia herself is uninterested in gett
 ing married\, which confuses the amorous Leonora. They spot an agitated Per
 nille\, who lets slip that she is on her way to see Madam Kirsten (Marcie D
 uplantis) the local matchmaker. The two girls believe that she will be brin
 ging a husband for Laurentia.\n\nMadam Kirsten muses on her unusual assignm
 ent\, and the fact that Pernille has asked her to help expose Terentia’s fo
 lly. The Matchmaker meets with Terentia and encourages her to accept her ol
 d neighbor Jeronimus as a husband\, but Terentia prefers the kind of man sh
 e has seen in the city: young and beautiful. Madam Kirsten suggests the cap
 tain Frands von Frauenliebe (Naomi Henn) who is\, in reality\, Madame Kirst
 en’s young niece and who could pass for a beautiful young man!  Madame Kirs
 ten has hatched a plot!\n\nPernille\, Laurentia\, and Leonora prepare frant
 ically for the coming visitor\, unsure of how best to proceed. Kirsten ente
 rs and presents Captain von Frauenliebe\, who captivates all of the ladies.
  To the horror of Laurentia and Leonora\, the marriage is arranged between 
 Frauenlibe and Terentia.\n\nWhile Terentia exults over her coming wedding\,
  Pernille excoriates her for not having the captain marry Laurentia instead
 . Madam Kirsten enters in tears: the handsome young man has mysteriously be
 en transformed into a woman! Frauenliebe enters and bewails her fate. Teren
 tia\, humbled\, agrees to marry Jeronimus. Laurentia is still mysteriously 
 attracted to the female captain…. And perhaps it remains for Pernille to te
 ach Leonora how to dance!\n\nEvent Live Stream
