Exploring Opera: Behind-the-Scenes

We are delighted to partner with our friends at the Osher Marin JCC and other JCC Partners* to bring you
Exploring Opera: Behind-the-Scenes.

Let former opera professional and instructor James Sokol pull back the curtain and take you on exclusive, behind-the-scenes visits to the opera, while you relax in your home. Each live, online session will feature a different special guest opera professional, who brings his/her unique expertise, experiences and insights to our discussion. Live Q&A and video clips will round out the visit. Your ticket purchase helps support not only our programs, but also our guests – opera professionals – who are, mostly or completely, out of work. Come learn, off-stage, what makes the magic happen on stage!
Optional Opera Chat: If you like, stay after the class for an additional 30-mins to meet other opera lovers in a small “chat room” and discuss a proposed question or just connect over the topic of the small group’s choice. No need to register for the chat; it will be offered at the end of each class.
