Palm Beach Opera: Listening Club

Music & Synesthesia 
Sunday, January 11 @3-4PM 
Do you know some people see sounds as colors, and hear color as sound? Join Palm Beach Opera to learn more and discuss the associations between musical sound and the other senses in the creation, perception, and performance of remarkable works. 

Exoticism in Opera 
Sunday, February 1 @3-4pm 
Stereotypes can make their way into any medium. How have composers successfully navigated foreign settings, and when has it done more harm than good? Join us as we explore Madame Butterfly, The Pearl Fishers, Carmen, and Lakme. 

Oops, I Lost My Head 
Sunday, March 8 @3-4PM 
The threat of decapitation looms large in these operas. How are death scenes brought to life on stage? Join Palm Beach Opera as we watch clips from Dialogues des Carmelites, Turandot, and The Mikado. Learn interesting facts about each work and the challenges facing stage directors. 

American Operas: Stories from the Frontier 
Sunday, May 10 @2-3PM 
See how composers combined European operatic tradition with American culture to represent the Wild West. Join Palm Beach Opera for an exploration of operas such as The Ballad of Baby Doe, La Fanciulla del West, The Tenderland, and Susannah.
