Dear Opera Lovers,

1. Passion, Politics & Betrayal - Introduction to Aida & Un Ballo in Maschera by Giuseppe Verdi - 5 JUNE 2013
We will cover the story and the musica highlights so you will know what to look and listen for when you go!
Aida is the well-known story of an illicit love between prince and slave, set in Ancient Egypt, with some of Verdi's most famous music. Un Ballo in Maschera is based on the true story of the assassination of King Gustav III or Sweden. Both are stories of passion, politics and betrayal.
Date: 5 June 2013, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: 4/F, Kiu Yin Commercial Building 361-363 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
Fee: HK$200 (HK$180 for DA current students and members) Registration: http://www.ladante.cc/event_registration.html
2. An Introduction to "Prima la musica e poi le parole” by Antonio Salieri & "L'impresario teatrale" (Der Schauspieldirektor) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- 11 JUNE 2013
In collaboration with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and in preparation for their upcoming performance on 14-15 June, the Dante Alighieri Society in Hong Kong is pleased to present an evening's discussion of: "Prima la musica e poi le parole" by Antonio Salieri & "L'impresario teatrale" (Der Schauspieldirektor) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Both one act operas are parodies on the making and performing of opera. They were presented together at Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace in 1786 in a sort of musical competition between the established Salieri and the young Mozart. You'll be introduced to the background, some of the music, some of the many jokes and some of the staging.
Join us for an evening that promises to be allegro and vivace. Places are limited! So hurry (presto, prestissimo) and register!

3. An Introduction to Gianni Schicchi and La Serva Padrona - 19 JUNE 2013
Fun at the Opera: An Introduction to Opera Buffa To coincide with the production of "Duetto" -- two comic operas translated into English and adapted for the stage -- presented by the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Aurora Theatre at the Fringe Club 26-29 June.
We will be introducing the two one-act operas the plays are based on: Pergolesi's "La Serva Padrona" (The Maid Made Mistress") and Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi". Written almost two hundred years apart, both remain fresh and funny -- and, as you will see if you attend the stage performances -- relevant even in Hong Kong!
"La Serva Padrona" is the story of maid who wants to move up in the world and "Gianni Schicchi" is a story of will tampering, greedy relatives and young love in medieval Florence. ("Gianni Schicchi" shares -- with Dan Brown's new novel "Inferno" -- the great Dante as its inspiration.
Date: 19 June 2013, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: 4/F, Kiu Yin Commercial Building 361-363 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
