The Operatic World of Puccini

Regarded as one of the greatest names in all Italian opera, Giacomo Puccini carried on the traditions of greatness that had previously been firmly established by the likes of Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, and Verdi. Throughout the course of his career, Puccini went on a tireless quest to achieve greatness, and his music resounds with a passionate beauty that still fills our concert halls to this very day.

During this program, we will discuss some of his most significant life events, some of his best-known operas, and the legacy that he left behind after his death on November 29, 1924 at the age of 65. From his earliest days studying at the Milan Conservatory, up through the haunting story behind his final opera, "Turandot," participants will get to know the brilliant man behind the timeless music.

This program is free and intended for teens and adults. No registration is required.
