# Event Details - **Event Name**: UT Opera Theatre Presents Rossini And Menotti - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: University of Tennessee Opera Theatre presents two madcap comedies that catapulted their composers to success a century apart. In 1810, Rossini stepped in at the last minute to replace another composer and made his name with La cambiale di matrimonio (The Marriage Contract), an energetic farce filled with his signature bravura style and comedic flair. The story follows an English merchant determined to marry off his daughter to an American businessman, with hilarious results. One hundred years later in Milan, Menotti charmed audiences with Amelia al ballo (Amelia Goes to the Ball), a rib-tickling one-act in which Amelia battles her husband, her lover, and her own frustrations to make it to the first grand dance of the season. Both operas showcase their composers? vivacious writing, dramatic storytelling, and sweeping romantic melodies, performed by two talented casts of University of Tennessee Opera Theatre students. --- UT Opera Theatre Presents Rossini And Menotti Saturday, November 15 Doors: 6:30PM ET Show: 7:30PM ET Tickets on sale Friday, September 19 at 10AM ET KnoxBijou.org (http://KnoxBijou.org) Want access to the venue presale code?
