Join us for Opera Talks at the MacPhail Center for Music, an engaging, hour-long online exploration of opera held in advance of each Met Opera: Live in HD broadcast. These lively pre-performance sessions open the door to the world of opera through stories of the composers, insights into the historical and cultural context, and highlights of the music and drama you’ll experience on screen. Whether you’re a devoted opera lover or just beginning your journey, Opera Talks will deepen your understanding and heighten your enjoyment of every performance.
Led by Sarah Stephens, an International Opera Manager for 35 years, Opera Talks celebrates opera as a 400-year-old art form with a special focus on the beauty and power of the operatic voice. Selected sessions will also feature special guests who share their expertise and behind-the-scenes perspectives on singing, staging, and how this timeless art continues to evolve.
Discover the stories, the voices, the drama, and the scenes behind the spectacle – and embark on a fun, new journey with opera!
  • Registrants can register for the complete package of Opera Talks, or individually. Cost: $30 per presentation.
