Boston Lyric Opera (BLO) is pleased to announce the return of Opera 101, an exciting opera education program for adults. Opera 101 will be offered twice over the coming season.
In the fall, BLO is pleased to welcome back Professor Elizabeth Seitz who will present a six-week session titled “Opera 101: Straight from our Season” which will explore the operas of BLO’s upcoming season: Puccini's La bohème, Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore, Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio, and Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel.
In the winter, Professor Seitz will share her insight and passion for a collection of beloved and memorable operas in “Opera 101: Six Great Operas.” The course tours the history of opera, visiting a different work each week including Don Giovanni, La traviata, Salome, and others.

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.”
