University of North Carolina School of the Arts

The University of North Carolina School of the Arts is the first state-supported, residential school of its kind in the nation. Established as the North Carolina School of the Arts by the N.C. General Assembly in 1963, UNCSA opened in Winston-Salem (“The City of the Arts”) in 1965 and became part of the University of North Carolina system in 1972. More than 1,100 students from middle school through graduate school train for careers in the arts in five professional schools: Dance, Design and Production (including a Visual Arts Program), Drama, Filmmaking, and Music. UNCSA is the state’s only public arts conservatory, dedicated entirely to the professional training of talented students in the performing, visual and moving image arts.

      Maria Stuarda was spendidly presented at the Stevens Center. Being a Bel Canto opera, it is rare to hear this piece sung. The two queens were wonderfully cast and sang the roles with great command. Other characters were strong as well. Set design and costuming were first rate. It was world class opera in a student setting. One forgets that the Fletcher is a learning facility. Awesome performance. Bravo. Collapse
