Guggenheim Fellow Nicolás Lell Benavides begins his residency at SCU with a full performance of his chamber opera, Tres Minutos.

In collaboration with 2024–26 Frank Sinatra Chair Teresa McCollough, and featuring vocalists Jessica Jacoby ’27 and Nathan Tu ’27, the work—inspired by a real program briefly reuniting immigrant families at the U.S.–Mexico border—explores the profound emotional consequences of separation.

This event is part of the College of Arts and Sciences’ Frank Sinatra Chair in the Performing Arts series.
