Enjoying Opera - Mike
Meetings are based around two factors, time and availability, Time, as I pick operas that fit, more or less, to a two hour session; availability, as to whether I own a copy of the opera. The group’s taste is catholic, so we have stretched from C18th to late C20th works. The last year has included viewings of works by Donizetti, Bizet, Weill, Mozart, Verdi and Rossini. We tend to avoid the more often-seen operas and catch up with rarely-performed gems.
The current season promises works from Paisiello, Bellini, Lalo, Verdi, Bernstein and Torroba. Performers will include Placido Domingo, Jose Cura and Patti LuPone, while productions are sourced from opera houses in the U.S., Germany, Spain, France and Italy.
We meet every third Tuesday afternoon. We’re currently full, though do contact me if you are interested in joining us.
