This course on opera will be held in conjunction with the HD simulcast from New York’s Metropolitan Opera. Starting in the fall, we will enjoy eight operas, including the Met premiere of the opera Grounded by composer Jeanine Tesori which explores complex issues of 21st-century warmaking. Other operas include a new staging of Verdi’s Aida and Strauss’s Salome, as well as audience favourites: Puccini’s Tosca, Offenbach’s Les Contes D’Hoffmann, and others.

This course will take place at the Thomas More Institute, both for listening and discussion in preparation for the operas shown, and at the Cineplex of your choice where the Met Opera HD is simulcast.

Participants are responsible for their own ticket purchase.

Please note that this course has a maximum enrollment of 16 students and that we do not allow participants to audit courses for free.
