Whether you’re new to opera or already addicted to the experience, this popular course will help you to appreciate and understand its intoxicating and exciting world. Join your instructor and special musical guests as we explore the three productions of Pacific Opera’s 2012-13 season. In each class we will discuss the background and the stories of the operas, listen to and compare great singers in the roles, and discover how each opera has been transformed from the composer’s first musings to a finished stage spectacle. We will begin with Shakespeare’s tale of boundless ambition and bloody murder in Verdi’s Macbeth. February brings us a light-hearted comedy in Britten’s Albert Herring, where chastity of young village women is nowhere to be found. The season ends with the greatest operatic diva role of all time, Puccini’s Tosca.
