The University of Southern Indiana's College of Liberal Arts, in collaboration with USI’s Dr. Philip H. Hagemann Performing Arts Department, Hagemann Rosenthal, the Pegasus Opera Company (London), the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus and the USI Foundation, will present an inaugural USI opera, Ruth, on Friday and Saturday, January 26-27, at the USI Performance Center. Dr. Philip Hagemann composed and wrote the libretto for Ruth, a production based on the Biblical Old Testament Historical Book of Ruth. This acclaimed opera has been staged multiple times in New York and London. The narrative revolves around a Moabite woman who, pledging herself to the Israelite people through an oath to her mother-in-law Naomi, later becomes the great-grandmother of David through her marriage to Boaz of Bethlehem.
