Get your Opera Power-Up.
First time at the opera? We’ve got you. Join Opera Baltimore’s Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Aaron Ziegel for Opera Insights, a crash course that unlocks what makes Puccini’s Tosca so gripping.

In three lively sessions, Aaron will guide you through:

• How music and words work together to tell the story

• Why the orchestra is the secret engine of the drama

• What singers do to bring larger-than-life roles to the stage

This series will also feature special guest Mary Elizabeth Williams, soprano and Opera Baltimore’s Imasogie Executive Apprentice, who will share her perspective on the singer’s craft and life inside the opera world.

Think of it as your backstage pass to opera smarts — no homework required. Bring your curiosity, ask anything, and walk into the theater ready to listen like a pro.
