"Bizet Is More Than Carmen and Verdi More Than Aïda" at Monday Noon Series

The Center for the Humanities at UMSL's Monday Noon Series will present "Bizet Is More Than Carmen and Verdi More Than Aïda" on March 9, at 12:15 p.m. in the J.C. Penney Conference Center.

Suzanne Wohl, who has facilitated numerous classes on musical composers, opera, drama, and literature at the Lifelong Learning Institute for older adults at Washington University and for OASIS, a nonprofit educational organization for mature adults, will go beyond Carmen and Aïda to explore Bizet's Les Pecheurs des Perles (The Pearl Fishers) and Verdi's La Forza del Destino.

The Monday Noon Series is a free cultural series featuring presenters from many ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds exhibiting a diverse array of talent and expertise. Subjects range from art, dance, and music to political, social, and environmental conditions.

Light refreshments will be served.
