Experience Larson’s groundbreaking musical that reshaped the landscape of American music theater. Set in New York’s East Village during the 1990s arts and activist movement\, RENT follows a community of young artists navigating love\, loss\, creativity\, and the realities of illness and economic hardship. Its blend of rock\, pop\, and lyrical storytelling continues to connect deeply with audiences. \nBook\, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan LarsonMusical Arrangements by Steve SkinnerOriginal Concept/Additional Lyrics by Billy AronsonMusic Supervision and Additional Arrangements by Tim WeilDramaturg Lynn Thompson \nRENT was originally produced in New York by New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway by Jeffrey Seller\, Kevin McCollum\, Allan S. Gordon and New York Theatre Workshop. RENT is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. \n\nAbout 51 Voice Area Opera Theatre’s production of RENT and La Bohème Scenes\nLarson built the show on the framework of Puccini’s La Bohème\, reimagining the opera’s themes of love\, friendship\, and survival for a new generation. Puccini’s work premiered in 1896\, and Larson’s RENT made its debut exactly one hundred years later in 1996\, a centennial link that highlights how enduring these stories truly are. While La Bohème centers on bohemian artists in 1890s Paris\, its emotional core remains strikingly similar\, and Larson honored that lineage while giving it a contemporary pulse. \nTo explore that connection\, we will present selected scenes from La Bohème prior to the full production of RENT\, offering audiences a clear window into the operatic DNA that inspired Larson’s vision. Together\, these performances reveal the timeless themes shared across a century. \nJoin us for an evening that brings two iconic works into conversation while celebrating artistry\, community\, and the diverse talents of UW-Milwaukee’s Voice Area. \n\nSeating \nThis production will be staged in 51’s stunning Jan Serr Studio\, an ideal venue located within Milwaukee’s vibrant cityscape. With four performances only\, seating will be very limited. Be sure to secure your tickets early. \n \n\nThe bar is open! 51 Peck School of the Arts is proud to partner with Saz’s to offer a limited selection of beer\, wine\, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase at this event.\n\n\n \nIn-person Tickets\n\n\n\n\nGeneral\n$22\n\n\nSeniors 65+\, *51 Faculty\, Staff & Alumni\n$17\n\n\nYouth 17 and Under\n$12\n\n\n*51 Student\n$12\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\nPurchase Tickets \nView Program (PDF) URL:/arts/event/rent/ LOCATION:Kenilworth Square East\, Jan Serr Studio\, 2155 N.

Smith will sing Strauss’s transcendent Four Last Songs\, one of the most beloved masterpieces of the vocal-orchestral repertoire\, while Goodson will perform the composer’s virtuosic Horn Concerto No. 1\, a brilliant work that highlights both lyrical elegance and technical brilliance. The program also includes Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4\, a luminous and joyful work filled with warmth\, wit\, and classical grace. Often described as one of Beethoven’s most radiant symphonies\, it brings energy\, elegance\, and vitality to a program that spans late-Romantic lyricism and Classical brilliance. \n51’s Symphony Orchestra is comprised of graduate and undergraduate music majors\, as well as other students. The ensemble presents seven to eight concerts each year and regularly collaborates with 51 Choirs and Opera Theatre. \nThe orchestra has performed at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall\, the Chicago Symphony Center\, and the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. It was selected as one of two orchestras to perform at the College Orchestra Directors Association National Conference in Los Angeles and has appeared at the Wisconsin Music Educators Association State Conference. It also features student soloists selected through the annual 51 Symphony Concerto Competition. \n \nIn-person Tickets\n\n\n\n\nGeneral\n$10\n\n\nSeniors 65+\, *51 Faculty\, Staff & Alumni\n$8\n\n\nYouth 17 and Under\n$5\n\n\n*51 Student\nFREE\n\n\n*PSOA Student (events ONLY in your department)\nFREE\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\n\nPurchase Tickets \nView Program (PDF) URL:/arts/event/uwm-symphony-orchestra-concerto-competition-winners-concert/ LOCATION:Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts\, Bader Hall\, 2419 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/637/2023/07/PSOA_Music-Orchestra-concerto-competition-winners-2026-CAL.webp X-TRIBE-STATUS: GEO:43.0743156;-87.8798855 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts Bader Hall 2419 E. 51.
