Galperin will discuss how Beaumarchais&#8217;s play helped foment two of the greatest revolutions in history: how it was censored in Vienna and how Mozart plugged the revolutionary content back into the opera by purely musical means.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sometimes happens that a great work of art takes its genre to a whole new level, unimaginable at the time of its creation, rarely equaled, and never surpassed,\u201d Galperin noted. \u201cThis is precisely what happened when Mozart created Le Nozze di Figaro, arguably the most perfect opera in the repertoire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mozart\u2019s skill at creating dramatic vocal ensembles and his deft musical characterizations will be highlighted in the talk, which will include YouTube clips of some of the most reputable tunes of all time.<\/p>\n<p>The talk is intended as an introduction to the upcoming Metropolitan Opera HD broadcasts of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Cinemark Theater at the Stroud Mall on <strong>Saturday, October 18 at 12:55 p.m. and Wednesday, October 22 at 6:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The presentation at ESU is open to the public at no cost.
