Despite obstacles like funding challenges, William Farlow has had a successful decade piloting the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s opera program, which primes young singers for globe-trotting careers.
On Friday, some of Farlow’s hard work will be recognized in a gala performance featuring 30 alumni, graduate and undergraduate students. The evening of singing will include selections from operas the university has produced over the years, including Mozart, Offenbach, Wagner and selections from Broadway productions.
