Aspects of Opera -
From the many different versions of Don Giovanni (there are at least six others), philosophers in opera, and subjects which have been peculiarly popular (the life of Carlo Gesualdo anyone?), or the connection between wild swimming and opera, the nooks and crannies of this art form provide a rich and rewarding topic of exploration.
This 10-week course of lectures will go on a deep dive into various fascinating aspects of the operatic art form. Join me for a relaxed, joy filled exploration of opera.
