Cincinnati Opera and the Outreach Program partner together for an exciting new project:  a series of 6 lectures for a brand new course at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in Cincinnati, during the Spring Term 2023. From May 3rd to June 7th,  Graduate Student Cecilia Cozzi and singers of the Cincinnati Opera will joint forces to show how human characters (both in Greek tragedy and live opera) deal with all the complex emotions of our inner life and discuss how each art form confronts its audience with dangerous questions and open dilemmas. Each lecture will be at the UC Victory Parkway Campus and feature the combination of dramatic readings from Greek tragedy with different live performances, provided by the Cincinnati Opera.
