Theoretical course | Opera Appreciation and History (MONDAY)

Description

Led by director Víctor Manuel Dogar, we present a new cycle of the 2023-2024 opera appreciation and history program
What does it consist of?
In enjoying and better understanding the stories that the operas tell us through the analysis of the different stagings that the directors propose.
Through the selection of audiovisual examples, the participants, led by the teacher, take a tour of history based on the most relevant artistic movements to establish the aesthetic-stylistic correlation with opera and place it in its historical context.
In each class we will work on a series of operas, duly selected.
