Remarkable World of Opera II - Glenridge
A light-hearted, but warm and informative look at what some consider the ultimate artistic and musical expression: the world of opera. Part 2 explores old and new operas with composers and performers you have heard of and many you have not. Performing opera requires extraordinarily talented, well-trained, and highly disciplined singers who can memorize vast swaths of music written by history’s (and today’s) most talented composers.
Opera singers perform in multiple languages, and are good enough actors to make believable some of the most exotic (and sometimes ridiculous) plots ever conceived for the stage. But that’s opera: extraordinary, astonishing, and absolutely beautiful! Join us for five ninety-minute sessions and bring your imagination and a mind open to new experiences. There will be multiple handouts at each session.
