Due to the unique circumstances presented by Covid-19, this year’s OperaTerps production has been reimagined as a completely original opera for the virtual stage!

Can You Keep A Secret?, a murder mystery, is an original opera featuring arias and art songs written by a wide variety of female, LGBTQ, and BIPOC composers and librettists. The cast, featuring 12 UMD undergraduate vocalists and 2 OperaTerps alumni, has been hard at work rehearsing and filming over Zoom during the month of January and we cannot wait to bring this virtual opera to you in late February! But in order to do so, we need your help!

The usual funding for student organizations was not offered this year so we are asking for your assistance to help us cover the costs of our fabulous pianist and audio/video engineer. We would love to have you partner with us in bringing this amazing show to life!
