Stockton Opera
Association
In 1968,
Warren and Marietta Atherton had a dream of bringing
opera productions to the Stockton Community. Former
Stockton Symphony Director, Kyung Soo Won, Dr. Arthur
Holton, founder and long time director of the Stockton
Chorale, and Dr. Lucas Underwood shared this vision, and
together with the interest and support of the community
the Stockton Opera Association was born. The first
full-scale production, La Traviata was presented in
April of 1969. The director and conductor was Lucas
Underwood. |
| We take pride in
the accomplishments of our artistic directors whose
vision and energy have contributed so much to the growth
and vitality of the Stockton Opera Association. Dr.
Lucas Underwood, Mark Ross Clark, and Professor Emeritus
George Buckbee ... each, over the years, has created
stimulating productions of light and grand opera,
professional in quality and strong in musical and
theatrical values. |
