Face the Music is a weekly workshop class where participants discover hidden and erased stories of Black American musical history. Co-facilitators of The Rhapsody Project present these stories and the songs at their heart as a jumping off point for discussions of racism and how to confront it in our spheres of influence.

In this six-part beginner’s guide series, join Associate Director of Community Engagement Lokela Alexander Minami for lively and informative multimedia presentations that will help you make sense of this larger-than-life art form by giving you some essential terms and taking you on a listening tour of some of the most popular operas in the repertoire.

Join conductor Ludovic Morlot as he extols the grandeur of Hector Berlioz's music in this one-night-only class that delves into the composer's visionary musicodramatic techniques.

Discover this beloved opera with others who want to consider it in detail. We’ll look carefully at libretto, score, and cultural context, and consider uses and abuses of The Magic Flute since 1791.

Discover how opera, from the Baroque era to the present, reflected and shaped the political environments of its time, harnessing its ability to inspire, educate, and unite audiences to become a powerful medium for the expression of political ideas and cultural values.
