NDSU Opera is scheduled to present an evening of comic operas featuring “Gianni Schicchi” and “Trial by Jury” Friday, May 9, at NDSU's Festival Concert Hall. Show time is 7:30 p.m.

In Puccini's “Gianni Schicchi,” chaos ensues after a wealthy man dies and the family searches frantically for his will. “Trial by Jury,” like other Gilbert and Sullivan operas, lampoons contemporary society.

Tickets are available online at ndsu.edu/performingarts or by calling 701-231-7969. The NDSU Performing Arts Box Office is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is located at the Reineke Fine Arts Center.

NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.
