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.
