One of the many gifts of Italy to the world is the beauty and magic of Italian opera which has endured for centuries.  To understand opera is to understand life.   This series will open the door to the incredible story telling that can only be done through powerful music and staging. The stories are timeless; Operatic music has touched people's emotions since its inception and knowing about its origins and its history will allow a deep appreciation of this important and unique art form. The teachers come from a background of operatic performance and directing, and their passion is likely to ignite yours.
