OPERA

Don’t forget!

Lincoln Center in front of the fountain next Tuesday evening at 7:45 for the opera. Please be prompt.

Don Giovanni concerns the exploits of “opera’s most famous lover”–AKA “Don Juan.” It is a very entertaining, crowd-pleasing opera, with lots of pageantry. I am sure you will recognize a few of the arias and duets even if, like me, you are not exactly an opera buff.  There are two acts, each consisting of several movements. Between the movements there is an intermission. The opera will last 3 1/2 hours, so pace yourselves accordingly!

It is nice to get dressed up. It is imperative to leave your cell phones off. If I catch you texting, the consequences will be severe! (I concur!, says Meredith). Seriously, I am sure it will be a memorable experience.

I expect that we will have a visit by opera aficionado (and tv-writer and playwright and novelist) Damian Lanigan, who will guide the discussion in-class.
