In May of 2016, William Shomos, Professor of Music at UNL, realized a long-standing dream. With a cast of students performers and musicians, he took a famous opera on the road through rural Nebraska. They presented "The Marriage of Figaro!" to audiences in four towns: Friend, Norfolk, Ord and Red Cloud. And a TV crew came along to document the experience.
