Community Educators from LA Opera will talk about operas to be performed during their 2013 opera season. Please join us on the following Saturdays at 3:00 p.m.

Saturday, January 26 – 'The Flying Dutchman'
Community Educator Bob Emirhanian will discuss this opera which is based on the legend of a ghostly ship condemned to wander the oceans forever.  The audience will hear clips from its enthralling score about a thrilling journey into an unsettling, mythic world where a tormented spirit seeks true love as his redemption.

Saturday, March 23 – 'Cinderella'
The speaker will discuss this romantic comedy about a kindhearted girl who dreams of escaping the tyranny of her vain stepsisters. When the prince announces that he will choose his bride at a glamorous ball, she seizes the opportunity to take control of her own destiny.

Saturday, May 4 – 'Tosca'
Tosca is a passionate tale set to some of Puccini's most openly beautiful and romantic music.  A passionate prima donna is forced to play a role she never imagined when she becomes trapped between her allegiance to her rebel lover and the scheming of a treacherous police chief who will stop at nothing in his lust for her.
