About

UT Austin's Extended Campus presents Experience Opera!

In this class you will see, hear, discuss and experience what makes opera so special. Opera is a total art form which joins music, singing, drama, poetry, plastic arts and sometimes dance, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a storytelling experience through music, employing all of the visual tools of theater: live performance, scenery, costumes, and lighting. In each work, all the components of opera combine their expressiveness and their beauty. This complex alchemy makes an opera performance an extraordinary show, monopolizing the sight, hearing, imagination and sensibility of the audience, where all human passions are at work.

This course will be presented by Dr. Curtis Davis, a musician who has taught at the Armstrong Community Music School and UT Informal Classes.
