May 15-17, 2026
The great composer Giuseppe Verdi was a leading artist of Italy’s reunification into a single country in the mid-Nineteenth Century, known as the “Risorgimento.” His operatic masterworks brought to the stage the values and issues of the Risorgimento, giving vivid creative expression to the ideals of his time. His stirring and melodious music provided a common bond for peoples divided by political boundaries, customs, and dialects. Verdi’s personal life—his humble beginnings, his professional triumphs and family tragedies, his moral integrity, his patriotic yearnings—became symbolic of an emerging nation’s vital spirit. We will explore Giuseppe Verdi’s life and art in their historical context and use video examples (with English subtitles) to examine in detail his magnificent music dramas, whose creative genius continues to thrill audiences everywhere. No previous opera background required. Just watch, listen, and enjoy.

Opera fans love Giacomo Puccini. The last of the great Italian opera composers, he never fails to thrill us with his soaring melodies or to move us with his pathos. But let’s take a closer look at Puccini’s world and discover what lies behind the music, as we watch him evolve from a composer in the grand tradition of Italian opera into a ground-breaking exponent of supercharged post-Romantic “verismo.” We’ll search for the real people and true stories behind his operas, and uncover fascinating details about Puccini’s often tumultuous career. We’ll investigate his life and art in their historical context and use video examples (with English subtitles) to examine in detail his emotionally stirring music dramas. No previous opera background required. Just watch, listen, and enjoy.
