Opera Highlights at the University of Hawaii

Lynne’s opera lectures are a must for my wife, Anny, and me.  Her insights are artistically, technically and historically stimulating . . . her enthusiasm infectious. She delivers her messages with humor, wit and accessibility.  They enrich our enjoyment through understanding.  But beware – they may turn you into an Opera geek!  —Steve Turner

Enrich your opera experience and enjoy the Hawaii Opera Theatre’s 2018 opera season. This course will take a closer look at this season’s presentations. The February 7th class will explore Gaetano Donizetti’s The Daughters of the Regiment. On April 11, come and learn more about Pyotr Ilyich Tschaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin.
