Harvard College Opera
Harvard College Opera (HCO), formerly the Dunster House Opera Society, was founded in 1992 by students in Harvard College's Dunster House as an undergraduate opera company[1][2] with a mission of expanding undergraduate access to opera at Harvard.[3]
Harvard College Opera presents one full-length opera each February with an entirely undergraduate cast and production team.[4][5] Throughout the academic year, HCO hosts a variety of smaller scale events, including free recitals and opera screenings. 2017 marks HCO's fourth year performing in Agassiz Theatre after leaving its residency in Dunster House in 2013.[6][7]
Past members of the company include composers Matthew Aucoin[8] and Joel Derfner,[9] mathematician and chessmaster Noam Elkies,[10] and businesswoman Randi Zuckerberg.[11]
