"As a multicultural group of performers, dressed in all black, streamed into The Dome at Yale Schwarzman Center Thursday evening, the audience exploded in applause. We knew we were in for an experience.

The night’s presentation of folk opera Jubilee was a work-in-process, so there was no staging or the typical operatic spectacle. There was no need.

The concert reading was so engrossing, it felt like you were witnessing a full production."
