Drawn from the evocative paintings of Edward Hopper\, Later the Same Evening transforms still images into intimate\, overlapping human stories set in mid-century New York. Composed by John Musto with a libretto by Mark Campbell\, this American chamber opera has earned national and international recognition for its cinematic structure\, lyrical score\, and deeply human storytelling. \nSince its premiere at the University of Maryland’s Opera Studio\, Later the Same Evening has been produced by leading institutions including Wolf Trap Opera\, Glimmerglass Opera\, Pittsburgh Opera\, Curtis Institute of Music\, Manhattan School of Music\, and Juilliard School\, among others. Its continued presence on major stages speaks to its unique ability to bridge visual art\, music\, and drama in a way that feels both timeless and immediate. \nWe are especially proud to welcome director Doug Clemons\, a dynamic force in the Milwaukee arts scene. Known for his work as both a director and actor across companies such as Florentine Opera\, Skylight Music Theatre and Milwaukee Opera Theatre\, Doug brings a wealth of experience\, nuance\, and theatrical insight to this production. His ability to draw out layered\, truthful performances makes him an ideal collaborator for a work built on subtle connections and emotional depth. \nLater the Same Evening invites audiences into a world where stories unfold side by side\, revealing how even the smallest moments can resonate far beyond a single night. \nMusic by John MustoLibretto by Mark CampbellUsed by arrangement with Songs of Peer\, Ltd. \nDirector: Doug ClemonsMusic Director: Joe Hauer Producer: Aaron Agulay \n\n\nIn-person Tickets\n\n\n\n\nGeneral\n$17\n\n\nSeniors 65+\, *51 Faculty\, Staff & Alumni\n$14\n\n\nYouth 17 and Under\n$12\n\n\n*51 Student\n$9\n\n\n*PSOA Student (events ONLY in your department)\n$6\n\n\n*If you have a 51 email account\, please log in when visiting the Box Office page in order to display all 51 affiliated ticket pricing.\n\n\nLivestream Tickets\n\n\n\n\nLivestream\n$12\n\n\n–\n–\n\n\n–\n–\n\n\n–\n–\n\n\n–\n–\n\n\nLivestream URLs are sent from psoatix@uwm.edu to the purchasing e-mail two hours prior to event start time.\n\n\n\n\n\nPurchase In-Person Tickets \nPurchase Livestream Tickets \nView Program (PDF) URL:/arts/event/spring-opera/ LOCATION:Music Building\, Recital Hall\, 2400 E. 51.\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211 CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Feature,Music,Performances,Public,Students,51 Campus Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/637/2024/06/Later-the-Same-Evening_CAL.webp X-TRIBE-STATUS: GEO:43.0762821;-87.8798006 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Music Building Recital Hall 2400 E. 51.

Eckert is an emerging environmental artist who studies the impacts of place-based artworks on community engagement and land stewardship. Lehtinen’s artistic practice critiques AI technologies by contrasting automatic machine-made processes with tactile\, hands-on practices like print and papermaking. \nEckert uses drawing\, paper arts\, painting\, and various printmaking processes\, to create dynamic art pieces that discuss issues facing the land\, humans\, and the greater than human beings that depend on it. \nLehtinen explores how AI is known to distort the human hand\, literally in image generation\, and metaphorically when considering what the human hand represents – a symbol of labor\, creation\, and agency that is being severed from its original value. \nThroughout the fall and spring semesters\, the Artists Now!

Students will be called up by department\, with each department introduced by a selection of work representing their discipline. When your department is standing\, you will be called by name to walk across the stage and receive your stole (a piece of academic regalia\, much like a long scarf\, that you can wear with your cap and gown to the campus-wide Commencement ceremony). After the closing remarks and recessional\, everyone crosses the lobby to Zelazo 280 for a dessert reception. \n\n\nIs the event in-person or virtual?\n\n\nPSOA Convocation is an in-person event\, which will also be live-streamed for those who cannot attend in person. \n\n\nWho should participate?\n\n\nAll Peck School of the Arts students who have graduated or will be graduating by any of the dates listed above along with friends and family of graduating students are welcome to attend. \n\n\nDoes it cost anything?\n\n\nThe event is free.
