GREAT VOICES IN OPERA: CARUSO TO CALLAS

We’ll examine six opera stars: Enrico Caruso, Feodor Chaliapin, Lawrence Tibbett, Rosa Ponselle, Jussi Bjorling, and Maria Callas, whose singing style and distinctive personalities developed and transformed the art of opera. Through music and video, find out how these virtuosos raised the standards of vocal performance, acting, and dramatic presentation. These performers influenced and radically changed both how opera was presented and what the public expected. Repeat course from Fall 2014-don’t miss out!
