It was a dramatic moment, worthy of the stage that would soon rise from the prairie. America’s lanky, sandy-haired hero sauntered a few steps off America’s Main Street and turned a spade of red clay from America’s heartland.
The date was September 28, 1927. Four months after his history-making trans-atlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh broke ground for a new fine arts building at Oklahoma City University. The $300,000 structure, just off the newly christened Route 66, was planned as an oasis for the arts.
Few of the assembled crowd who turned out to see Lucky Lindy could have predicted what history had in store. In October 1929, the stock market crash marked America’s descent into the Great Depression. Oklahoma was hit hard, yet the school soldiered on. Six months after the crash, on April 4, 1930, OCU pre-sented its first fully staged musical production, charging 50 cents to see the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta HMS Pinafore. The performance became the first of many shows produced sporadically through the Depression, Dust Bowl, and war years.
In the aftermath of World War II, the university enjoyed a growing talent pool and larger audiences. Encouraged, the school established the Oklahoma Opera and Music Theater Company in 1951 and began mounting com-plete seasons. In the 62 years since – through economic ups and downs – more than half a million people have attended hundreds of OCU productions of more than 140 different operas and musicals, here on campus or on one of our international tours. Many of the shows have been Oklahoma premieres, and several have been world premieres. In the process, the school has become one of America’s finest training grounds for opera and musical theater.
In the 21st century, Dean Mark Parker expanded the music school’s size and scope, envisioning a creative incubator for music education, performance and collaboration. In 2006, the school’s square footage more than doubled when the state-of-the-art $38.5 million Bass Music Center.
Over the decades, renowned entertainers ranging from Pearl Bailey to Bob Hope to Clark Gable have visited. Placido Domingo and Bill Cosby accepted honorary degrees, and music performed by legends ranging from American violinist Joshua Bell to the Moscow Chamber Ensemble to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band have resounded through these halls.
In addition, the school has produced many of its own celebrities. Students featured first on the stage of the Kirkpatrick Fine Arts Auditorium include dozens of musical, theater and opera stars, including Tony Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth, Met favorite Leona Mitchell, international soloist Sarah Coburn, Tony nominees Ron Raines and Lara Teeter, Grammy- and Emmy-winning composer Mason Williams, four-time Tony nominee Kelli O’Hara and three Miss Americas.
Little did Lindbergh know, as he shoveled red clay that September day, that he was building a launching pad for stars.
Our six-show season features 19 performances
of musicals and operas drawn from classic
American works of the 20th century. The
composers and librettists were inspired by a
Pulitzer-Prize winning novel, two Pulitzer Prize-
winning plays, a movie comedy, a short story
about a journey to see a Tulsa televangelist
and photographs of Depression-era farmers.9 t0 5

Creators: Jeanine Tesori, music; Brian Crawley, libretto.

Along the way, she encounters fellow travelers, befriends two poker-playing soldiers, and comes to terms with the father who inadvertently gave her the scar, The work evokes Dorothy’s quest in The Wizard of Oz, imbued with what The New York Times called “shadowy Southern Gothic with an inspiring promise of sunshine.”

(1946) Inspiration: Elmer Rice’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play
Setting: Tenement on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, 1946.
Creators: Kurt Weill, music; Langston Hughes, lyrics; Elmer Rice, book.
Of note: First Tony Award for best original scoreKurt Weill’s synthesis of opera and Broadway combines art song with catchy jazz, blues and bebop and big choruses in a melting pot of verismo tragedy. The story follows the lives of the Maurrant family -- the desperate Anna, her alcoholic husband, and their daughter, Rose, who is about to begin her own romantic life against the tapestry of her New York neighbors and their story lines -- over two steamy June days in New York.

(2006) Inspiration: Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play
Setting: 1901-1913 small-town New England
Creators: Ned Rorem, music; J.D. McClatchy, librettist
Of note: First operatic interpretation of 1938 Wilder classicThornton Wilder’s classic work of Americana becomes larger-than-life with this operatic transformation by composer Ned Rorem, hailed by Time magazine as “the world’s best composer of art songs.” Rorem’s evocative score, and Wilder’s kaleidoscopic use of time, illustrate the cycles of love and marriage and death and loss in the village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, in the years before World War I. The Guardian of London called the opera: “charming and rather touching, especially in the final act, when the action takes an unexpected twist into fantasy.”
