"Opera 101" Returns

Boston Lyric Opera (BLO) is pleased to announce the return of Opera 101, an exciting opera education program for adults. BLO welcomes back Professor Elizabeth Seitz to teach a special topics course on Mozart. Join Seitz as she recounts the operatic adventures of Austria's musical wunderkind, with special emphasis on Le nozze di Figaro.

"Opera 101 offers a perfect match of teacher and topic this season," said Nina Gilbert, BLO's Education and Community Programs Manager. "Elizabeth Seitz is a highly admired and respected lecturer in several areas of music for audiences around Boston and Mozart is an irresistible composer - both in his life and in his works. They are a match made in opera heaven."

This event is part of BLO's continuing commitment to engage and educate new audiences in the Boston community about opera.
