Opera enthusiast Eugene Galperin, Ph.D., an associate professor of mathematics at East Stroudsburg University, will host a talk titled \u201cHow to See Madama Butterfly without Leaving Town\u201d on Wednesday, March 30, 2016, at 7 p.m., in Stroud Hall 117on ESU\u2019s campus. The event is sponsored by the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) ESU chapter as a part of the promotion of the Metropolitan Opera Live-In-HD series.<\/p>\n
The program, geared toward people with little or no knowledge of opera, will examine its origins, history, and continued relevance in today\u2019s society and provide an introduction to Puccini\u2019s Madama Butterfly, a Metropolitan Opera production that will be screened Saturday, April 2 at 12:55 p.m. and Wednesday, April 6, at 6:30 p.m. at Cinemark in the Stroud Mall. The Cinemark screenings are part of the Metropolitan Opera\u2019s Live-In-HD series designed to make outstanding opera productions accessible to audiences throughout the world.<\/p>\n
One of the mainstays of the repertory, Madama Butterfly, is a gripping tale of love, devotion, sacrifice, and betrayal. Due to its lush melodies and dramatic story, it is a perfect introduction into the genre for somebody who has never been to an opera theater.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have given 14 talks during the past three years,\u201d Galperin said. \u201cAs a result, many students and community members have attended the Cinemark broadcasts for the first time. That was encouraging, and I would like to keep it going.\u201d<\/p>\n
