I THINK I’M READY TO LEARN ABOUT OPERA (CA330)

CA – Performing Arts Appreciation

Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | February 5, 2026-May 7, 2026

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 — Robert is continuing his lifelong career in music as international opera singer, producer and director. His charity work in Assisi, Italy (where he was a director of an international music festival for 17 years) earned him the title of Cavalier with the Knights of Malta. (CA330, CA331, CP235)
