Vocal performance alumnus Emmet lands musical lead role

Congratulations go out to recent Chapman University grad and CoPA alumnus Daniel Emmet (BM Vocal Performance, ’15) on landing a lead role in the new Thomas Kindade’s Christmas of Light show at The Smoky Mountain Palace in Sevierville, TN. Audiences will enjoy high-definition projection, special effects, and awe-inspiring music to bring to life the beloved art of world-renowned “Painter of Light” artist Thomas Kinkade. The 80-show production begins November 1, 2015 and runs through January 2, 2016.

Emmet writes that he is looking forward to spending the “most wonderful time of the year” in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

The 1,700-seat venue is billed as the largest in the region and has just reopened its doors after a major renovation. It is located in on the outskirts of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and approximately five miles from Dollywood, the famed Appalachian-themed park created by country superstar Dolly Parton.
