UGA Opera Theatre: Don Pasquale

UGA is ablaze with performing arts this weekend, including an operatic performance of Don Pasquale. This beloved Italian opera is equal parts moving and comedic, with a modernized twist that brings a whole new perspective to what opera can be.

Tickets range from $6-$20, with shows running from Friday, Feb. 22 through Feb. 24.
