In this installment of Opera Through the Ages, we enter the passionate and dramatic world of the Romantic era. Explore how composers like Verdi, Wagner, and Puccini used sweeping melodies and heightened emotion to tell stories of love, heroism, and fate. Discover how opera during this time reflected the political, cultural, and emotional currents of the 19th century.

Presented in partnership with the Valley Friends of Arizona Opera. Lecture presented by David Schildkret.
