2023/24 Season | The Dragon of Wantley Pre-Opera Talk

Join celebrated author and musicologist Ellen T. Harris, Class of 1949 Professor of Music Emeritus at MIT, as she introduces us to The Dragon of Wantley by John Frederick Lampe. The most popular operatic production of the entire 18th century in England, The Dragon of Wantley enjoyed a 45-year run as Lampe deftly lampoons Handelian opera in this hilarious farce.
The GRAMMY-winning BEMF Chamber Opera Series presented The Dragon of Wantley in Boston, Miami, and Troy, NY in 2023 and the production will be available to watch virtually from December 9 to December 23, 2023. Learn more and secure your Virtual Tickets at bemf.org/conce...
