I Think I’m Ready To Learn About Opera (CA330)

CA – Performing Arts Appreciation

Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | September 4, 2025-December 4, 2025

Thursday: 10:45 AM-12:00 PM

This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

Opera has existed for several hundred years. Perhaps you delayed learning about it or had a difficult first attempt at it. Maybe you just haven’t had an opportunity to learn in an open environment where questions, comments and reactions are encouraged and various types of operas are explained. This class is your opportunity! There’s a lot to introduce you to in this “complete art” form.

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).

INSTRUCTOR: Robert Violette

VIOLETTE, ROBERT — Has enjoyed a life of singing the leading roles in the operas of Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss and Wagner, as well as some contemporary composers. Each composer taught him how to listen, understand and appreciate their own language. (CA327, CA328, CA330, CA331)
