LA Opera will present an “opera talk” on The Two Foscari at the El Dorado Library, 2900 Studebaker Rd., on Saturday, Aug. 11 at 2pm.
In the opera, the languid canals and boisterous festivals of 15th-century Venice conceal a deadly web of secret plots and vindictive rivalries. Caught up in forces beyond their control, a father and son struggle to reclaim honor in a city that knows no mercy. The opera in three acts was composed by Giuseppe Verdi and based on the historical play The Two Foscari by Lord Byron.
The LA Opera Lecture Series presents insightful talks that address history, literature, philosophy and fine arts within the context of opera. The series is presented by LA Opera’s Community Educators, a team of trained volunteer experts. The LA Opera offers a chance for attendees to be entered into a drawing for an opera-related gift to be given out at the end of the free presentation.
