New Lecture Series on the power of theatre
in partnership with IPLAI at McGill University
Verdi's Dangerous Voices
March 22nd at 7:30pm
In the CinemaSpace
Prof. Steven Huebner (Schulich School of Music)
This talk will invite reflections on various ways opera can communicate a sense of danger. Shakespeare's Macbeth presented particular challenges as a literary antecedent in the context of nineteenth-century Italian operatic culture, which privileged beauty of vocal production and a set of dramaturgical conventions designed to highlight the artistry of performers. We will explore how Verdi courted risks with consumers of his own version of Macbeth in responding to the unsettling and disturbing aspects of his model. And we will evaluate whether the result is merely a debasement of Shakespeare or equal in its capacity to evoke hazard.
Tickets: $10 for Students, Segal Subscribers & Artists (members of Equity, Musicians Guild, APASQ, UdA); $18 General Audience or $72 for the series of 5 lectures
