Lifelong Learning | Opera: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
1:00-2:00pm
Professor Allen Cohen
Opera can be considered one of the oldest art forms we have, or one of the youngest. This lecture-recital explores the history of the genre from its official beginnings in Italy in the late 16th century; how it became popular all over the world; how it changed and decayed; how it was reformed; and what it is like today.
