Join Iain on a three-week exploration of operas and history set in Rome!
In Week 2, we will explore MEDIEVAL and PAPAL ROME, featuring operas about the disastrous mid-13th century pilgrimage to the Lateran of Heinrich Tannhauser, the astonishing mid-14th century imperial revival of Rome under Cola di Rienzi, and the heroic mid-16th century triumph of the brilliant sculptor Benvenuto Cellini – none of which shows the Papacy in a very favourable light.
Sept 19 or 20 – Operas set in Ancient Rome
Sept 26 or 27 – Operas set in Medieval and Papal Rome
Oct 3 or 4 – Operas set in Modern Rome
Each lecture is offered on Sunday or Monday at 4pm.
