Former Iola High graduate Erin Klubek made her operatic debut Nov. 5 at the Lyric Opera in Kansas City, Mo.

Klubek’s role as a “super” for the opera “La Traviata” kicks off a career she has described as her calling. A “super” is short for supernumerary actors, who are amateur character actors and extras. 

Klubek is also a music education graduate from MidAmerica Nazarene University.

She is auditioning for the International Lyric Academy, as well as masters programs in opera performance.

Her goal is to travel to Italy to study opera and to be a lead role in a major production. 

She is the daughter of Kelly and Natalie Klubek. She graduated from IHS in 2018.
