All in a Day is a concert filled with musical numbers from opera and musical theatre as well as two short operas, one of them commissioned especially for this traveling concert. The concert scenes progress from morning through evening of a very good day: one that includes both a dog adoption and a birthday party!
The short opera about dog adoption Pepito was composed by Nicolas Lell Benavides to a libretto by Marella Martin Koch. A couple visits an animal shelter to adopt a dog, and the wife makes a particular connection with a lonely dog who misses his Spanish-speaking former owners. The second short opera, Happy Birthday, was commissioned by Utah Opera from Utah composer Andrew Maxfield and librettist Ruthie Prillaman. It addresses the controversy—and resolution!—of the question, “Who really owns the ‘Happy Birthday’ song?”

Revenge only leads to disaster and no one is safe in Verdi’s tragic yet tuneful Rigoletto, the epitome of high drama and an operatic classic.
The Duke is a notorious womanizer and his court jester, Rigoletto, is all too ready to laugh at the men whose wives and daughters have been seduced—that is, until he learns his own daughter is the Duke’s latest conquest. In the end, the cruel and devastating joke is on the jester.
ARTISTS: Joseph Colaneri, conductor | Stephanie Havey, director | Steven C. Kemp, set designer | Scott Hendricks, Rigoletto | Jasmine Habersham, Gilda | Matthew White, Duke of Mantua | Hannah Ludwig, Maddalena | Utah Opera Chorus | Utah Symphony

Bruckner’s symphonies are famous for turning the orchestra into a virtual pipe organ—and his Symphony No. 5, with its rich cathedral of sound, is no exception. The composer, self-effacing in his everyday life, poured an astonishing range of human emotion into his vivid Fifth Symphony and ultimately directed all of its energy toward the finale, which seems to suspend time as it pulls together themes from throughout the entire work in a remarkable feat.
