A primer on opera, Wales, the composer
Joseph Parry, and a delightful opportunity to meet and get to
know the sparkling Dulais Rhys…a man of many talents, that we
are, now, fortunate enough to call a fellow Montanan.
Three
illustrated lectures on the history, content, and importance of
Blodwen – the first Welsh opera.
Lecture 1:
Significance of Blodwen in America to The Plot of the Opera.
Lecture 2: From who wrote the Libretto to
The Welsh Language . (Buckle up for a five minute mandatory,
non-optional, compulsory, doors-are-locked Welsh language
lesson.)
Lecture 3: What is a chamber
version of an opera to why was there a 1978 (one hundred year
anniversary) performance?
Ending with an invitation to
attend the Dress Rehearsal of Blodwen on May, 8th!
