Lectures

You don't have to know anything about opera to enjoy it; but some entertaining background information is bound to spice up your opera experience. Since these talks are optional, we've made sure they're interesting, fun, and best of all, free!

Whether you are a novice or an old hand, you will immensely enjoy our pre-opera talks. Pre-opera previews are a delightful and entertaining dose of education. You’ll learn the story of the opera, the juicy tales surrounding it, and get a sampling of the music. They begin one hour before every performance and last 30-40 minutes.
