Do you know opera?

The Faculty of Arts at the University of Lausanne is offering a series of lectures linked to the works programmed by the Opéra de Lausanne in its 2012-2013 season. Lasting around an hour and a quarter, these lectures are free and open to all. Given by specialists, they will provide an opportunity to delve deeper into certain issues linked to the works, shedding light on the historical context, musical language, libretto and literary sources.

They take place at the Grange de Dorigny at 5:15 pm on March 6 (Michele Girardi's lecture on Puccini's Tosca), April 10 (Jacques Tchamkerten's lecture on Honegger's L'Aiglon) and June 5 (Pierre Michot's lecture on Mozart's Marriage of Figaro).

Student discounts

For each dress rehearsal of these shows, the Opéra de Lausanne makes a certain number of seats available at 5 francs to students of the UNIL Faculty of Arts.
