OPERA INSIGHTS

Opera Insights are a series of free presentations given at different Milwaukee area locations – the Wauwatosa Public Library and Boswell Books – prior to each opera, “Opera Insights” takes a closer look at the upcoming show. Each 45-minute program reviews the synopsis and gives background on the opera, and attendees are treated to arias, duets and small ensembles performed by Florentine Opera Chorus members. 

TALK OPERA

Presented one hour before curtain prior to each mainstage performance, Corliss Phillabaum–Professor of Theater at UW Milwaukee’s Peck School of the Arts–talks about each opera in-depth. Professor Phillabaum keeps Florentine audiences returning time and time again for his unique and interesting perspective at each opera’s lecture. Opera Insights are free with each ticket purchase.
