Opera: A Passion for the Ages
This course is a voyage into the Making of the Opera — from Monteverdi (the father of opera) with Orfeo, to Gluck (the reformer) with Orfeo ed Euridice, to Mozart (the new opera and the father of Bel Canto) with Cosi' fan Tutte, to Verdi (from Bel Canto to the Romantic period and the maturity of opera) with Rigoletto, to Wagner (the new concept of Music-Drama-is it Back to Monteverdi?) with Parsifal. Come learn and enjoy!
