    The University of Memphis Opera at the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music will present Tartuffe by Kirke Mechem on April 15 and 17, 2011. The comic opera is based on Molière's farcical play of the same name. It tells the story of Orgon, his family, and a holy man named Tartuffe. Tartuffe befriends Orgon, who is so taken by his religious and virtuous message that he gives him free accommodations and access to the luxuries of a comfortable life. But Orgon's family sees Tartuffe as a con man – and rightly so.
    To reinforce the timelessness of the story, the production will take place in the present day, with a 17th century aesthetic. Imagine the lavishness of the court of Louis XIV with a modern twist. Stephen Hancock directs the opera. Mark Ensley is the conductor.
