Study Group Details

We continue our exploration of the great geniuses of Italian classical music. We pass from the Baroque era of Monteverdi and Vivaldi now to the Romanic era of Rossini, Bellini, Verdi, and Puccini. As we have been doing, we will examine the librettos in great detail, learn a bit about the lives of the composers and the events of their eras, and then listen to many extracts from their great works. Knowledge of Italian is NOT required but an enthusiasm for the language is helpful. This study group has a high class size capacity.
