Why you should experience an Opera Preview or one of Dr. Johnson’s classes:
Lynne’s Opera lectures are a must for my wife, Anny, and me. Filled with humor and wit, her insights are, artistically, technically and historically stimulating… her enthusiasm infectious. She delivers her message with humor and wit. They enrich our engagement through understanding. But beware – they may turn you into an Opera geek! ~ Steve Turner
Lynne combines the passion of a music lover with the depth of a doctorate. Through in-depth but well-paced multimedia lectures, you come to understand not only the “what” of an Opera, but also the “how” and the “why.” ~ Gail Atwater
Yes, we truly enjoy the Opera/musical encounters led by Lynne. When in town we don’t miss them. Her thorough approach extends beyond technicalities encompassing and bridging cultural gaps. It has been said, “Without Opera, the world is an even drearier place than the evening news would have us think!” ´ Lynne’s lectures beckons us forth to truly enjoy this marvelous musical art form!” ~ Vittorio Alliata di Montereale
