Furman students are admitted free with valid ID.<\/p>\n<p>Set over the course of two sweltering summer days on a New York City tenement stoop, the opera portrays the lives, struggles and aspirations of immigrant working-class families living side by side in an urban community.<\/p>\n<p>Often described as a \u201cBroadway opera,\u201d \u201cStreet Scene\u201d uniquely blends operatic technique with jazz, blues and American popular song, creating a vivid and distinctly American musical language. The work is based on Elmer Rice\u2019s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1929 play of the same name, with lyrics by Langston Hughes. Together, these artists crafted a powerful portrait of American life\u2014one that captures both the tensions and hopes of a diverse community and remains deeply relevant today.<\/p>\n<p>Furman\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.furman.edu\/people\/grant-knox\/\">Grant Knox<\/a> directs the Sarah Reese Lyric Theatre.<\/p>\n<p>Ticket Prices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adults: $20<\/li>\n<li>Seniors 60+ \/ Furman Faculty &amp; Staff: $15<\/li>\n<li>Students: $10<\/li>\n<li>Furman Students: $0 with ID \u2013 at the door<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Purchase tickets in advance at\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/furmanmusic.ludus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">furmanmusic.ludus.com<\/a>.
