Cornell at the Opera - La Boheme - Sold Out
La Boheme has been a perennial favorite with students in Cornell’s “Music as Drama: An Introduction to Opera” course. It has also received a variety of stagings across the centuries, from traditional 19th century settings to the recent Boston Lyric Opera's 1968's setting. Come join us to explore this opera together with Cornell’s Department of Music Professor Rebecca Harris-Warrick and Magda Romanska MA ’03 PhD ’06, Boston Lyric Opera dramaturg and professor of dramaturgy at Emerson College.
Professor Harris-Warrick will discuss the choices Puccini made in setting this story to music, including the transformation of the characters from their literary models, Puccini’s effective vocal characterizations, and his masterful use of the orchestra. Professor Romanska will talk about the multiple ways that La Boehme has been staged and restaged, and how each staging has contributed to the mystique and romantic appeal of Puccini's masterpiece.
