Let's go to the Opera — at the Chapel Hill Public Library!
On Friday, February 17, and Sunday, February 19, in the newly renovated Memorial Hall on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Triangle-based Opera Company of North Carolina will present “Salomé” by Richard Strauss. The Friends of the Chapel Hill Public Library invite you to get ready for this spectacular event by way of the following:
Sunday, January 15: Why Opera Matters
Why do so many people all over the world love opera? What makes opera such a powerful art form? Join us for live performances and in lively dialog led by Robert Galbraith, founder and artistic director of The Opera Company of North Carolina.
Sunday, February 12: Salomé — What to Listen For
Strauss scholar, Duke faculty member, Opera News contributor, and Opera Company of North Carolina Advisory Board member Bryan Gilliam will lead us in a discussion of “Salomé” — how it came to be and what to listen for in the Memorial Hall production.
Both programs will take place at 3:00 pm in the meeting room on the lower level of the Chapel Hill Public Library.
