Ways of Listening: The Journey of the Countess
THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 2024 / 3:00 – 4 P.M.

The Marriage of Figaro has been called “the most perfect opera ever created.” It is a romantic comedy that evokes both Shakespeare and Broadway, full of divine music, bawdy humor and rich characters. We will explore the opera through the fascinating character of the Countess Rosina as she grows into self-knowledge and reforms her philandering husband.
This one-hour program will use performance videos of the great arias and comic ensembles and live demonstrations at the piano to convey the music and the Countess’ deep humanity. The program is non-technical and accessible to anyone with an interest in classical music.
