Opera hits high notes—Three Birmingham-Southern students and a professor were cast in the recent Opera Birmingham production of Giacomo Puccini's Turandot. Pictured during a performance break are (from left) Hannah Ellington, a junior vocal performance major, who sang the role of a handmaiden; Tim Beenken, a senior vocal performance major, who sang the role of a Mandarin; Dr. David Smith, BSC professor of voice, who sang the role of Emperor Altoum; and Mandy McDaniel-Stack, a junior vocal performance major, who sang the role of a temptress. Turandot is based on an ancient fable, originating in Persia and set in China. Any suitor seeking to marry the beautiful Princess Turandot had to answer three riddles, and if he failed, he would die. The local production was given high praise in a review by The Birmingham News.
