The opera production of “Le Roi de Lahore” (The King of Lahore) directed by Director of Opera and Associate Professor Ella Marchment, B.Mus., and presented at the Dorset Opera Festival in the United Kingdom earlier this summer was nominated for an International Opera Award for Best Rediscovered Work. Marchment was joined by Dasia-Marie Mitchell ’24 (Bachelor of Music in Performance) who served alongside Marchment as assistant director.
