OPUS, The University of Tampa’s premiere musical theater ensemble will perform its final concert of the semester in Falk Theatre on Tuesday. The show will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m.
The performance will include a medley from RENT, the “Theme from Ice Castles” and an array of art songs.
The show will also feature duets and solos from members of the ensemble.
Special guest Jack Jenkins will close the show with a duet with his daughter Letitia. Jenkins and his wife Sally were the premiere musical couple during the ‘50s at UT.
They went on to sing with major big bands of the era, including Guy Lombardo. Sally Jenkins died tragically in a car accident several years ago and a scholarship fund has been started in her name.
This year Jack Jenkins is the recipient of the Music Alumnus Achievement Award. Jenkins and Dr. David Isele, director of Choral and vocal activities, have been friends for years.
Together they sponsored the Collegiate Chorale during two of the Chorale’s spring tours.
Isele will lead OPUS in their one-night extravaganza, free of charge.
