A talk by Nick, "The Dramatic Climax - Four Climactic Scenes from Operas". We will be looking at/listening to videos and discussing scenes from the following:

Carmen – (Bizet) sexy seduction

Bluebeards Castle (Bartok) – a peek into a dark subconscious.

The Elixir of Love (Donizetti) – some light relief, though tearful.

Orpheus and Euridice (Gluck) – back to the underworld – a beautiful song to finish.
