The University of Tennessee Opera Theatre (UTOT) presents an Italian double-bill this weekend, November 14, 15, and 16 at the Bijou Theatre in downtown Knoxville. Performances are at 7:30pm, with 2:30pm matinees on Saturday and Sunday. Conducted by Dr. Kevin Class (Professor of Collaborative Piano at UT and music director of UTOT), the opera theatre will perform two one-act operas by Italian composers: La cambiale di matrimonio by Gioachino Rossini and Amelia al ballo by Gian Carlo Menotti.
