Midwest Institute of Opera - MIO

Last year we hosted three Midwest Institute of Opera performers and this year we are doing the same.  Last year the opera was was Don Giovani and this year, the Marriage of Figaro.  Even though these singers are in their 30's, we treat them as our babies!  They pay tuition to be a part of MIO.   Jenny Beauregard and her fiance Kyle (stage name Vincent) Conner both have starring roles.  Joe Welch, a pianist who now has is doctoral degree from the University of Minnesota stayed with us last year and another pianist, Ben Nadel, another pianist will be arriving tomorrow evening.  They will be with us for ten days. 

In a Pantagraph article about MIO, one of the lead characters wore my 47 year old wedding dress!
Kyle just finished performing Elixer of Love
