The book Operas and Phantoms by Lyalya Kandaulova and Lyalya Bulanova presents ten mysterious operas of the twentieth century, introducing the reader to the genre of opera through fascinating and slightly scary stories and colorful illustrations.
Participants will discuss opera as a genre, explore the opera The Nose by Dmitri Shostakovich based on Nikolai Gogol’s short story, and build a model of a theater with a stage, props, actors, singers, a program, and tickets.
