<p>The cast bios of Jacobs productions are all online, I think you would get some idea from combing through them on the degree of participation. Just looking through the recent production of Puccini’s La Rondine, it seems to me that yes, the big roles mostly go to doctoral or masters students but there are also a few undergrads doing smaller roles. I guess out of the total number of undergrads at IU that’s probably not a big percentage at all but it also means that it’s not totally out of the question for undergrads to be cast.</p>

<p>The productions are also generally streamed live at the school’s streaming website. Certain past productions are also available on demand, and I think it’s worth taking a look if you’re interested.</p>
