Please join Sabatino Vacca, Artistic Director Southern Ontario Lyric Opera (SOLO), as he discusses the world of “Verismo” opera.  Based on more realistic subject matters this tradition has given the world some of the most intensely emotional moments from the post-Romantic period by Italian composers such as Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Giordano and Puccini.  Audiovisual examples will be presented during this spirited interactive discussion, together with a live performance of some “Verismo” arias.  Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this passionate era in operatic history.
