The USC Thornton Opera and the USC Thornton Symphony presents Chérubin, a 1905 opera by French composer Jules Massenet.
 
What happened to Cherubino after he left the Count’s estate in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro? Massenet considers this question with his confection of an opera, presented by the singer-actors of Thornton’s Vocal Arts department and musicians of the Orchestras program.
 
In the opera, which couples lively Spanish musical references with French Romanticism, the title character Chérubin must choose between the glamorous ballet dancer L’Ensoleillad, La Comtesse, La Baronne and the ever-faithful Nina. Chérubin is a touching, funny and moving story enveloped with Massenet's glorious music.
