An Evening with the Villains and Villainesses of Opera

Some of our favorite characters in opera are the bad guys and dangerous women. There are almost no rivels to Scarpia in Tosca, Lago in Otello and Don Giovanni. All unrepentant haters of moral and arrogant to the very notion of God. The women who make us think twice about the "fairer sex" are self-possessed like Manon, ambitious like Lady MacBeth and murderously seductive like Carmen.

Join us to look at some of the best of the worst characteres from grand operas.

Created by composers such as Mozart, Verdi, Bizet, Puccini and others.
