PORGY and BESS
The quintessential opera by the great American composer George Gershwin positively glows with his unique genius for writing memorable songs.  It stands emphatically as one of the great masterpieces of American music.

January 21
MUSIC & NATIONALISM
Here we explore how music can express national pride and reflect or even shape our feelings and sense of national identity.  Music by Canadian composer Howard Cable and American composer Aaron Copeland will be explored with regard to our theme of community.

January 28 (part 1) & February 4 (part 2)
L'ELISIR d'AMORE
Gaetano Donizetti's famous comic opera sparkles throughout, a grand romp full of delightful music and a plot every bit as silly as one could hope for, given the title.  It joyfully celebrates rural community and the indisputable power of being heir to a rich uncle.
