IN PERSON: No prior knowledge of music or opera is needed for this engaging exploration of five beloved operas: "The Barber of Seville," "Tosca," "Don Giovanni," "Il Trovatore," and "Rigoletto." Taught by an instructor with firsthand experience performing in each of these works, the course aims to spark joy and curiosity while preparing students to experience opera more deeply — whether they are attending live performances or watching them from home. Through guided listening, video excerpts, open discussion and behind-the-scenes insights into opera rehearsal and production, participants will gain a richer understanding of the art form. With a small group format, the course encourages reflection, conversation and plenty of room for personal engagement. Students who were part of the fall opera class are welcome, as the spring class will cover different material. | Facilitated discussion.
Max enrollment: 14.
