A closing number from the Meadows Opera Theatre at the Fall 2015 Opera Free for All

In celebration of SMU’s Family Weekend, the Meadows Opera Theatre presented an electric assortment of scenes from opera and musical theatre that delve into volatile interpersonal dynamics: Battling brothers, secretive sisters, panicked parents! Scenes were presented from Fiddler on the Roof, Little Women, and Next to Normal. The show, in honor of Family Weekend, was entitled: “We are family–get up everybody and sing!”

Photographer Kim Leeson was on hand to capture the lunchtime performance at Meadows.
