Greek night at opera canceled due to conflict

The hectic schedule of those within the greek community was the deciding factor in postponing “Greek Night at the Opera,” which was originally scheduled for Saturday.

“The fact that the show was the weekend before Valentine’s Day played a big part as to why we have postponed this event,” said Caitlin Wright, Jacobs marketing department member.

The Musical Arts Center had planned a night that would have included group discounts for greek students attending Giacomo Puccini’s two one-act operas, “Suor Angelica” and “Gianni Schicci.”

“We want everyone to have the opportunity and be able to attend the opera,” Wright said. “However, planning an event like this on a weekend where couples have their own plans and earlier scheduled social functions was not the most ideal for our aim of attracting a larger percentage of the greek community.”

Though this event has been canceled, the MAC is planning another event for the fall semester geared toward greek students.
