Praise for Opera 101 and Elizabeth Seitz
“Loved Elizabeth’s passion for her subject—enjoyed reading Mozart’s letters and learning about different stagings of the same opera and emphasis on most important operas.”
“The instructor was spectacular. Her knowledge, delivery, preparation, handouts, use of CDs and DVDs and relationship to the class were great. Get her back next year.”
“Elizabeth Seitz is a marvelous lecturer. Her classes are so well prepared and organized, and she presents a perfect blend of biography, historical background, and the music itself. Never thought I’d be on the edge of my seat at an opera lecture.”
“Dr. Seitz is a superb lecturer and the #1 reason that I kept coming on cold and icy nights. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and storytelling abilities are remarkable. Always available for questions. She is wonderful!”
“Professor Seitz is a gem! What a resource. She’s knowledgeable and passionate.”
